THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH: Britain should take advantage of the eurozone crisis to grab back powers and re-negotiate its relationship with the EU, John Major has said.
Any new treaty drawn up in its wake would allow Britain to renegotiate its relationship with Brussels, particularly on employment issues, the former prime minister suggested.
Sir John claimed it was likely that Europe was heading towards a ''federal state within the eurozone'' as leaders try to find a resolution for the current crisis.
He told the BBC's Andrew Marr show: ''There won't necessarily have to be a treaty in this country for fiscal union.
''It is conceivable there would be a treaty just among members of the eurozone.''
He added: ''But at some stage there will be another treaty because if there is fiscal union in Europe it changes our relationship to Europe. » | Sunday, October 09, 2011
