Proposals on EU reform for Britain are fair, Juncker says

BRUSSELS: The proposal on reforming Britain's relationship with the European Union is fair and must be supported by the European Parliament, Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker told the assembly in Strasbourg.

"I have always said I want the UK to remain a member of the European Union on the basis of a fair deal. The settlement that has been proposed is fair for the UK and fair for the other 27 members," Juncker said.

"It is also fair for the European Parliament ... the parliament must be fully signed up to the new settlements."
