The UK wants to repatriate 35 EU-wide police and justice laws out of some 130 in its wider efforts to claw back power from the EU. "We believe the UK should opt out of the measures in question for reasons of principle, policy, and pragmatism," UK home secretary Theresa May told ministers in London on Tuesday 9 July.
