THE UK and THE EU

The UK and The EU - AN UPDATE

Earlier on my Blog I expressed my views on the Big Debate - should The UK stay in The EU or exit the EU.
Since The In Out Referendum is fast approaching, I would like to emphasise some key points - my opinion only.

The UK accepts the Treaty of Rome and subsequent Treaties principle of the Free Movement of Labour, Goods and Services and Capital throughout member states of The EU
However, citizens of member states visiting The UK must claim all Welfare Payments and Healthcare Costs from their country of origin.
These Citizens must have Medical Insurance, a Job and have no criminal record.
If a member state refuses to pay these costs, The UK has the right to deduct payments and interest from its contribution to the central budget of the EU.

EU Immigrants cannot be hired at wages below UK minimum standards or replace British Workers who have first choice on job vacancies for the first 3 months of advertising the vacancies.

The UK will have the right to determine how many Asylum seekers enter the UK. The cost of upkeep must be born by the EU.

The UK does not want to join the Eurozone.

The UK will have the right way in law to deport convicted criminals or fraudsters. The Human Rights Convention must be amended accordingly.

EU Laws must be approved by The British Parliament before becoming effective.

The UK supports the notion of all EU states being granted the same rights as the UK.

The UK is proud to be European. The UK will continue to vigorously support Free Trade within The EU, Joint Ventures, Cultural  and Social Exchanges, Law Enforcement, Detection of Criminals, Economic Growth and Peace throughout the EU and elsewhere.

The UK does not want to join an EU Army. It will remain a member of NATO.

The UK will advocate that the EU Budget is vetted and that the auditors sign off and approve the Annual Budget unlike at present.

There must be stronger Financial Management of EU affairs, transparency, verification and traceability of allocated funds.

If there are no fundamental changes in EU Legislation such as stated above, it is highly likely that The UK will vote OUT in The Referendum. In this case it is hoped that The UK will remain a strong Economic Trading Partner. If not, all of Europe will lose out and prosperity will be lost for a long time.
