UK's 'voice heard' in EU - Cameron
Britain secured a number of key demands at the European Union to boost jobs and growth across the continent, Prime Minister David Cameron has said.
David Cameron speaks to the media at the EU summit in Brussels
Mr Cameron declared himself frustrated on Thursday that the priorities of a group of 12 EU states, including the UK, had been ignored in the draft communique for the European Council summit in Brussels, in favour of proposals from France and Germany.
But as the summit ended, he said they had "made our voice heard" and secured "fundamental" change on issues ranging from trade to energy and completing the single market.
Mr Cameron said he had forged an "unprecedented alliance" at the EU in favour of open markets and trade, which included not only the UK's traditional allies in Scandinavia but also major southern states Italy and Spain.
He said: "Today in Brussels we have made our voice heard. The communique has been fundamentally rewritten in line with our demands."
The main business at the summit was a ceremony in which 25 EU countries signed up for a new "fiscal compact" to restore stability to the single currency area.
Mr Cameron and his Czech counterpart sat it out - the only two EU leaders not to be endorsing a deal designed to impose stronger financial discipline on the eurozone, with sanctions for those countries breaching debt and deficit limits.
European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso said afterwards: "The euro is not just a currency of some countries, the euro is the currency of the European Union. Through their formal commitment at the treaty level to increase discipline and convergence, the member states are showing that, from monetary union, we are now progressing towards a true economic union."
But Mr Cameron made clear that his priority for the summit was securing real action to complete the single market, boost trade and stimulate growth. He detailed the changes made to the communique this morning which he believes will help achieve these aims.
He said: "I would say that for the first time since we've been setting out these ideas, our letter really did become the agenda for this European Council. We now have a plan that we must stick to in the months ahead. We have the words, now we need to make sure we get the actions that follow from those words."

In 1995, Eva Mozes Kor opened the CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center in Terre Haute, with a mission to prevent prejudice and hatred through education about the Holocaust. Thousands of people, including many school groups, have visited CANDLES since it opened. In 2003, the museum was destroyed by a hate-filled arsonist. Eva vowed to rebuild, and with the help of a generous public outpouring of support, the museum was rebuilt and reopened in 2005. CANDLES is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

If you're anything like me, you have a love/hate relationship with business travel. Of course, it's always great to go someplace different, experience the culture, try new and exciting cuisine, and meet awesome people– but long flights, airplane food, and dingy hotels are all things I can live without.
As many of us have learned the hard way, being a foreigner basically means you are a walking target for theft in both the physical and virtual sense. For example, while at the Eiffel Tower, I was asked to sign a charitable petition, but I hesitated because something didn't sit right to me. I later found out it was a scam, and others who fell for it were pick-pocketed as they signed.
While I was fortunate to detect the crime before it happened, cyber theft is much more subtle. Like the conventional thief, cyber criminals are looking for the most vulnerable individuals: i.e. ones not familiar with the culture, or lacking awareness of where they are to steal sensitive information such as passwords, credit card numbers bank information and more.
Having such information stolen from you certainly turns any pleasant getaway, into a disaster. That's why it's essential for us to take necessary precautions. I personally use SaferVPN while I browse the Internet in coffee shops, hotels, airports and other locations with unsecured public Wi-Fi networks. The tool allows me to browse the Internet with a completely secure and private connection, so I can catch up with work anywhere and rest assured that all my passwords, personal information and email correspondences are fully protected.
There's absolutely nothing worse than that sinking feeling you get when you can't find your luggage. In an instant you feel like everything you own is gone, regardless of the fact that it is only a small portion of your belongings.
In contrast, if you are one of the fortunate travelers whose items come forth early on the conveyer belt, you are then stuck pushing around bulky, cumbersome luggage–at least until you can find a cab. But we all know local transport is part of the travel experience. As such, it's more than a little bit of a bummer when you're not able to explore like the locals.
So, either way you look at it, there is zero benefit to bringing lots of luggage. To avoid this, pack light enough to put all your belongings into carry on. This way, you get off that plane fast, keep all of your belongings in one place, and are free to travel wherever whenever.
Travel guides give you all the details on the conventional destinations in a given area. By reading one, you might discover an abundance of information on a place's history, classical art, and famous architecture. While this is all well and good, you may never actually find out what makes that culture tick today, which in my opinion, takes away from your overall experience.
So get off the grid by befriending locals, walking down the street and discovering local treasures. Simply walk into a local restaurant and find out what types of food people eat, and ask the waiters and waitresses about the best nightlife, markets, and local shops.
If you need a bit more of a guide, there are some great apps out there to give you all the lowdown on the city you're visiting. If it's food you crave, try LocalEats, an app that helps you discover the best independently owned eateries. For advice on local activities, use Spotted by Locals, an app which is written by residents in order to help tourists find the hottest hangouts in the city. These apps are especially great for business travelers who may not have the time to go on an organized tour, but still want to have an experience.
With the world becoming smaller every day, more and more inventions are being created to make the process of travel easier and more convenient. If you are an avid traveler, I definitely suggest checking out some of the latest new gadgets and travel accessories.
In addition to packing, another challenge in travel, at least for many of us, is of course sleep. I personally find that with my head and neck in awkward positions, I simply can't comfortable enough to fall asleep. Of course, if you're traveling for business, showing up tired the next day is not ideal. So I bought the J Pillow, which supports my head, neck, and chin in order to make sleep come easier. This way, I wake up refreshed and ready to take on a day of meetings.
Lastly, my worst nightmare when traveling is losing my phone, keys or something else of value. That's why I love the Nokia Treasure Tag. This simple device attaches to any object, like keys for example, and it will alert your phone if you forget it. This way, I never lose sight of my favorite things and I am freed up to travel with ease.
Traveling can be stressful. But, if done right, it can be an unbelievable experience where you learn new things, discover different cultures, and gain fresh perspectives that can take you further in both business and life in general.


Teamster Payton Corbett (Teamster Local 122) joined members of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union (local 1445) and their supporters during a "Customers Care" rally at Stop & Shop in Somerville on March 23.
Talks between Stop & Shop and unions representing thousands of striking workers will resume Monday after the two sides spent the weekend in negotiations, a union spokeswoman said Sunday night.
On Thursday, 31,000 members of unions with the United Food & Commercial Workers went on strike at 240 Stop & Shop stores in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Five UFCW unions represent the striking workers at those stores. The strike was called after negotiations hit an impasse over pension and health benefits.
Negotiators for the unions and the company were back at the table Sunday morning after conducting negotiations all day Saturday, said representatives for the two sides in separate statements to the Globe.
The talks are being conducted with the support of federal mediators, according to Jennifer Brogan, a spokeswoman for Stop & Shop.
Stop & Shop has said it had a contingency plan in place for stores where workers are striking. Stop & Shop, part of the same parent company that owns Hannaford and Food Lion, has more than 400 stores and 60,000 workers.
A UFCW spokeswoman said in a statement Sunday morning that all five unions involved in the strike are committed to reaching an agreement.
On Saturday, Stop & Shop president Mark McGowan said he and the "entire Stop & Shop team remain firmly committed to getting a fair contract in place for all of our associates in New England," according to a statement released by the company.
In the statement, McGowan said the company's offer includes pay increases for all associates, health coverage with deductibles that would not change, increased contributions to employee pension plans, and no changes in paid time off or holidays for current associates.
