What would Cameron say in favour of the EU?

One of the problems I have with a referendum is the level of anger directed at the EU is matched by ignorance, on my part as well, of what the EU actually does. We see a lot of stories about the EU banning or changing the name of a multitude of things but I am not convinced by those stories, not least because they never come to pass. It reminds me of the Yes, Minster! episode where the Minster wilfully misinterprets a trivial EU mandate as 'banning the British sausage' in order to patriotically rail against it.

So what would those in favour of the EU say?
