» Monday, October 22, 2007European Council
Asked if the Prime Minister shared President Sarkozy’s view that Tony Blair would make a first class EC President, the PMS referred people back to what the Prime Minister had said on Friday in Lisbon, when he was asked the same question: "Tony Blair would be a great candidate for any significant international job and as you know, the work that he is doing in the Middle-East is something that is of huge international importance, but I have to say that on the issue of the Presidency of the Council, there has been no discussion of this and it would be premature to have any discussion as these amending treaties have still got to be ratified by the Parliament’s of the individual countries." Asked how long the Prime Minister would drag out the debate on the EU Treaty, the PMS replied that the Prime Minister intended to ensure that there was full possible scrutiny of the Treaty in Parliament.
