EU right to upset firm (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

true

'firm' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'eu right to upset' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'rt'.
'to upset' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'eu'+'rt'='eurt'
'eurt' backwards is 'TRUE'.

(Other definitions for true that I've seen before include "Veracious" , "A false alternative?" , "In accordance with facts" , "Honest and straight" , "Right - honourable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
