Following the conclusion of the EU summit, Fiona Hall, Leader of the Liberal Democrat MEPs in the European Parliament, said:
"This outcome is deeply worrying for the future prosperity of the UK, which now faces the prospect of being in a minority of one in European decision making.
"I am particularly concerned that the UK may become sidelined within the single market, which the Government has always recognised as being absolutely crucial for the UK economy. Thousands of jobs are at stake.
"A declaration on the integrity of the single market, which had been drafted by the Commission and agreed by the European Council, was left on the table.
"Hopefully this summit will mark the turning point for the eurozone. But it may also mark the damaging marginalisation of the UK."
