Threats like air pollution, climate change and habitat loss mean the UK and its neighbours have used the EU to agree over 100 new laws to protect people and the environment. These cover everything from reducing the risk of industrial chemical accidents to protecting rare birds. The EU now has the biggest programme of environmental legislation in the world.

Facts on immigration
Last Wednesday I went to a very useful presentation by the Samphire Project, a charity based in Dover. Samphire do no promote a policy agenda but communicate accurate information about immigration, detention, asylum and refugees in the UK. They covered some popular beliefs about migration and compared these to reality. It was hughly educational. I am far from a believer in tabloid panic about migration but I did not know that the number of asylum applications in the UK was only 31,000 last year.
