European politicians have expressed relief after David Cameron withdrew the threat of a referendum on Britain's place in Europe, but some have said they are puzzled over his plans to renegotiate terms of membership.
Members of the European parliament said that in some cases Cameron appeared to be asking for opt-outs that already existed – in the charter of fundamental rights and criminal law.
In the case of employment law, they said there was almost no chance Britain's European partners would approve an opt-out as it would be seen as giving the UK an unfair advantage in attracting foreign investment.
