Could David Cameron’s EU veto spell the end of free movement of Labour rights and mass immigration from Eastern Europe?
UK Prime Minister David Cameron has effectively vetoed an EU-wide treaty change to deal with the eurozone crisis, as he did not think it was not in Britain's interests, the BBC reports.
It is now expected that a new "accord" setting out tougher budget rules will be drawn up for the eurozone, which all EU states, except the UK, look set to join.
Euro sceptics hope that David Cameron's moves and a new EU inner sanctum could see the UK clawing back powers from Brussels and perhaps opting out of ‘free movement of labour' deals which has seen mass migration from Eastern European countries such as Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and more recently Romania and Bulgaria.
Some even predict that the veto is the beginning of the end of Britain's marriage to the EU.
Last month the UK Government extended work restrictions on Bulgarian and Romanian nationals, the newest members of the European Union, until the end of 2013.
Britain's future involvement at the centre of the EU now looks uncertain, and with the Conservative led coalition Government's election promise to slash immigration to the tens of thousands, last week's events may provide the answer to their problem of what to do about unstoppable European migration.

The UK Government are to simplify the verification process to enable employers to carry out immigration checks to find out whether foreign nationals have the right to work in Britain, Immigration Minister Damian Green announced today.
The Independent reports that UK Chancellor George Osborne's economic strategy rests on continued high levels of immigration to Britain - in direct contrast to the Conservatives' policy of cutting net migration down to the "tens of thousands". Although the public largely support the government's moves to restrict immigration, certain sectors are still struggling to find staff. For instance, care providers are facing a staffing crisis following a government clampdown on non-EU immigration and changes to Tier 2 work visa rules.
