Open Europe published on the 10 September 2015 a series of proposals for a new safeguard for countries, such as the UK, which are outside the EU’s single currency to protect them from being outvoted by the Eurozone bloc voting as a caucus – an idea which was expected to be a key part of Prime Minister David Cameron’s EU renegotiation ahead of the referendum. Open Europe’s briefing argues that if three non-euro states vote against a proposal, the EU should aim for consensus. If this cannot be reached within six months, the proposal should either be dropped or only be pursued by a smaller group of member states. Such a mechanism would not only ensure the rights of non-Eurozone states and protect the single market but continue to enable the Eurozone to take the steps it needs to tackle its enduring economic crisis. |
