Europe

Asked as Czech deputy Prime Minister had raised concerns that the Declaration due to be published in Berlin this weekend, had been drawn up by the Germans in secret and that they had concerns about it and did the UK have similar concerns, the PMOS said no, we fully believed that there was a general discussion at the Brussels Summit recently about the broad principles underlying the Declaration and we believe that all processes had been followed.

Asked if the Berlin Declaration would confirm that 2009 was the target for an EU constitution, the PMOS said it would be better to wait and see what it said. Asked if the UK would see the Declaration before it was published, the PMOS said that there would be the usual diplomatic contact before hand.

Asked if the Prime Minister agreed with the Chancellor that some of the anger shown towards the Chancellor from some quarters was due to anger over the Chancellors decision over the Euro, the PMOS said that the position of the Chancellor was always one which you have to take difficult decisions and people respond to different decisions in different ways; the Chancellor speaks for himself.
