Leading UK Conservative Party politician Boris Johnson suggested on the 14 December 2015 that Denmark’s carve-out from EU free movement rules provides a useful precedent for a compromise over the UK’s demands on EU migration and welfare. What is the Danish exception and might it be useful to the UK? On the same day Philip Hammond UK Foreign Secretary said that the UK was willing to consider other proposals to reduce levels of EU migration amid reported opposition to its plan to limit access to in-work benefits. The UK demands for EU reform were due to be discussed at the European Council, Brussels, 17-18 December 2015. |
