George Osborne insists EU treaty veto has not left Britain on the fringes
Chancellor George Osborne says David Cameron's decision to veto EU treaty changes was "very refreshing" and has insisted that Britain will still play a central role in Europe.
"Britain will always be at the table when our interests are being discussed, and when the things that matter to the British economy are being discussed," Mr Osborne insisted.
"We're not exiting the European Union, we are actually protecting the European Union as an institution that serves all its 27 members including Britain."
The Chancellor commended Mr Cameron for staying true to his word over the decision in the face of pressure from both sides; pro-European coalition partners the Liberal Democrats to the left, and the right wing Euro-sceptic members of the Tory party.
