Britain is prepared to sue other European countries if the new financial agreement between 25 member states threatens our national interest, Prime Minister David Cameron said today.

Mr Cameron is under pressure over the fact that Britain, along with Czech Republic, will be excluded when the new group uses joint institutions, including the European Commission and the European Court of Justice.
Last month the Prime Minister vetoed a new European treaty for greater fiscal intergration between eurozone countries saying there were not enough safeguards for the City.
He today insisted that Britain would take robust action if the 25-member group's use of those institutions acted against the single market.

"I made clear we will watch this closely and if necessary we will take action, including legal action, if our national interests are threatened by misuse of the institutions," Mr Cameron said.
The Prime Minister rejected suggestions that Britain would be at a disadvantage in Europe, after he decided not to join the 25 countries who are tying their financial policies closer together.

I don't think small claims court would allow that suit to proceed.

David Cameron said yesterday's deal among 25 countries was outside EU law. "Why is it outside EU law? Because I made it outside EU law," he said.

Interesting piece by Daniel Hannon on Cameron and Europe:

David Cameron has allowed Europe to say FU to its people | Daniel Hannan | Comment is free | The Guardian

In one important sense, we are now in a worse position than we were before December. We have set the precedent that, if some integrationist states want to go further but fail to gain the approval of all 27 EU members, they need only sign an intergovernmental accord among themselves and carry on using EU institutions. This, in effect, means that there can never be any more vetoes – ever.

We had a generational opportunity to improve our membership terms. We could have held out for a return of powers. Or, alternatively, we could have encouraged the division of Europe into two separate blocs: the European Union (EU) and the Fiscal Union (FU) – an acronym, by the way, which neatly summarises the attitude its leaders take to their peoples. You're Irish and you're fed up with paying higher taxes to compensate wealthy European bankers and bondholders? FU! You're Greek and you want a devaluation so that your business can be competitive again? FU! You're Italian and you're wondering why there isn't a single elected politician in your cabinet? FU!

So let us say that the UK wins the legal action. Other European countries will only ignore the ruling anyway. It is only the UK who abides by the rules.

More like a religion: a load of guff written by people no one can identify, not up to date, and followers just cherry pick the bits that work for them
