"His [Cameron's] plan is impractical if it works because there would be lots of non-tariff barriers, different regulations, different standards, so products couldn't be as freely traded within Europe as they are at the moment," said Stephen Tindale of the CER.

Cameron said he wants to preserve the single market but avoid some of its regulations, an approach that Stephen Tindale of the CER, says won't work. "His plan is impractical if it works because there would be lots of non-tariff barriers, different regulations, different standards, so products couldn't be as freely traded within Europe as they are at the moment," he said. ...But Tindale warns the changes those executives and the prime minister envision are not likely to be accepted by other European leaders. "The other EU members would ultimately let him walk if his shopping list of demands for repatriation of powers are too great," he said.
