Cameron attacks ‘pointless’ EU rules and regulations

DAVID CAMERON last night delivered a blistering attack on “pointless” EU rules and regulations which were stifling growth as it battled with the eurozone crisis.

The British prime minister called for “fundamental reform” in Europe as he lambasted “out of touch” EU institutions demanding budget increases at a time of austerity for their citizens.

In his annual set piece foreign policy speech to the Lord Mayor of London’s banquet, he dismissed talk of “grand plans and utopian visions” and called for a looser EU with “the flexibility of a network, not the rigidity of a bloc”.
