The implementation of this new body is included in a proposal for a new settlement for the UK within the EU presented by EU president Donald Tusk and negotiated with David Cameron that includes other concessions for the UK. David Cameron also highlighted the issue of intra-European migration and social services provision. In an attempt to temper the extremely critical remarks by the UK Independence Party (UKIP) over Polish workers being fired at David Cameron, Donald Tusk is proposing to launch a revision to the regulation over free circulation of labor so as to include a safety mechanism allowing Member States to limit access to social services provision for new arrivals to their labor market for a maximum of four years, when immigration flows are threatening to compromise their social services’ purse.
News update as of 3 February 2016
Brexit/Proposals to keep Great Britain in the EU. The European Commission intends to establish a specific body tasked with examining current legislation to verify that it fully respects the two fundamental principles of the European Union: 1/ the principle of subsidiarity, which limits EU intervention to situations when Member States’ own intervention would otherwise be less efficient and 2/ the principle of proportionality of measures in relation to the target objectives. The European Commission has to communicate its priorities in a work program by the end of 2016. This new project to overhaul the EU acquis, whereas the REFIT program checks that current legislation is in line with the current situation (c.f. article No. 7823), is the European Executive’s response to one of the UK Prime Minister, David Cameron’s demands, so that he can campaign for the UK to remain in the EU in the period before the Brexit referendum, which may be held in June 2016 (c.f. article No. 9362). David Cameron tirelessly criticizes the amount of red- tape businesses have to wade through that comes from European Community Directives including Directives over labor law.
