Far from being a drag on growth, making our energy sources more sustainable, our energy consumption more efficient, and our economy more resilient to energy price shocks - those things are a vital part of the growth and wealth that we need

I want completing the single market to be our driving mission. I want us to be at the forefront of transformative trade deals with the US, Japan and India as part of the drive towards global free trade. And I want us to be pushing to exempt Europe's smallest entrepreneurial companies from more EU directives.

It is vital that we get these policies right as we take forward our plans to drive down the deficit and transform our economy.

The economies in Europe that will prosper, are those that are the greenest and the most energy efficient

At the core of the European Union must be, as it is now, the single market. Britain is at the heart of that Single Market, and must remain so.

Warm congratulations to my friend Barack Obama. Look forward to continuing to work together.

Just as I believe that Britain should want to remain in the EU so the EU should want us to stay.
