Tory MPs call on David Cameron to claw back swathes of powers from EU Mr Cameron faces opposition from Germany with the country's chancellor, Angela Merkel, said to be abandoning plans to back a major revision of the EU's treaties - something which would greatly hamper the Prime Minister's chances of successfully renegotiating the terms of Britain's membership. Georg Boomgaarden, the German ambassador to London, has also hit out at Eurosceptics" belief that Britain faces a choice between a renegotiated membership and exit, claiming: "This is really a choice between out and out ... If you pick and choose you blow up the single market." Many Conservative MPs do not believe Mr Cameron will be able to deliver a tough enough renegotiation package - and the Fresh Start manifesto, A New Vision for Britain in Europe, will add to the pressure on the Prime Minister to avoid a highly damaging split in his party's ranks. It also risks opening up a new rift with the Liberal Democrats. The detailed 36-page manifesto will call on Mr Cameron to demand a veto for Britain on EU laws covering financial regulation - which are currently covered by Qualified Majority Voting (QMV) and disliked by Eurosceptics who see them as attacks on the City - and an end to the working-time directive which restricts hours worked. The section covering crime, justice and policing, seen by The Sunday Telegraph, will call for moves which go much further than current government policy and which seek to re-establish parliament as the key decision-making authority. Britain's Supreme Court, and not the Luxembourg-based European Court of Justice (ECJ) should be the final arbiter on a wide range of issues, including the extradition of British nationals, the manifesto argues. It urges Mr Cameron to use forthcoming EU Treaty renegotiations - seen as inevitable because of moves by the 17-member eurozone group of nations to become more closely politically integrated - to repatriate powers for Britain. The group backs the government's move to exercise a "block opt-out" of more than 130 policing and criminal justice powers by May 2014 - as Britain is allowed to do under the terms of the 2009 Lisbon Treaty - which include plans to force UK courts to take convictions in another country into account. However, the manifesto rejects ministers" plans to follow the opt-out by opting back in to those powers that Britain likes. To do so would be irreversible and bring new laws under full control of the European Commission and the ECJ for the first time, the group argues. Instead, the document proposes Britain pursues "operational co-operation" with other EU member states using international agreements which are not subject to the ECJ, "understanding" and voluntary co-operation on case-by-case basis. Such areas could include cross-border criminal records checks, co-operation with Europol and extradition treaties with other EU countries which retained the Supreme Court as the "ultimate judicial arbiter" of the extradition of British nationals. In addition, the manifesto urges Mr Cameron to use Treaty changes to allow the UK to opt out of up to 22 new policing and criminal justice laws into which Britain has opted since the Lisbon Treaty - and which are not covered by the "block" opt-out. Dominic Raab, the Conservative MP who drew up the crime and policing section of the manifesto, said: "As part of a British renegotiation, we should make clear our commitment to being effective operational partners on law enforcement. But, that doesn't mean sacrificing democratic control over policing, prosecution and standards of justice. Andrea Leadsom, the Tory MP and co-founder of the Fresh Start Group, said: "The proposed reforms in policing and crime are representative of the new relationship the Fresh Start Project supports for the UK in the EU. Effective cooperation without ceding democratic control. The status quo in the EU is no longer an option. Returning powers to member states is not an impossible task.  This year will see a major government focus on clawing back powers from Brussels - scheduled to last at least until the 2014 European parliamentary elections. William Hague, the Foreign Secretary, has paved the way for a cross-Whitehall "audit" of EU powers which could be repatriated - including immigration, limits on working hours and human rights. In a foreword to the Fresh Start Group manifesto, Mr Hague described the document as "well-researched and well-considered...full of powerful ideas for Britain's future in Europe and, indeed, for Europe's future." He adds: "Many of the proposals are already government policy, some could well become future government or Conservative Party policy and some may require further thought. Lord Heseltine, the veteran pro-Brussels Tory, attacked Mr Cameron's move to offer a referendum as an ill-advised "punt" and warned it would "drive away inward investment." Lord Wolfson, the chief executive of Next, tells The Sunday Telegraph today: "Britain should stay in Europe, but only on the right terms. There is little to fear from a two speed Europe, as long as Britain remains in the slow lane. "If other 'core" European countries want to lock themselves into more regulation, less democracy, and greater federalism that's there decision. But we should take courage and resist the temptation to follow the crowd. Mr Cameron's speech is expected to be delivered next week with the Netherlands the most likely venue, although Germany is an alternative. However the Prime Minister risks a diplomatic row if he chooses to give it in Germany on January 22, as it is also the date is the 50th anniversary of the country's post-war reconciliation with France.
