Note to editors

The reforms sought by the UK PM ahead of the UK’s IN/OUT EU membership referendum on 23 June were conceded in a political agreement among member states on 19 February. If the UK chooses to remain part of the EU, some of the reforms will have to be scrutinized and enacted into EU law by the Council and Parliament on an equal footing, as co-legislators.
