President Barroso

Asked if the Prime Minister had been upset with President Barroso’s comments regarding the EU Africa summit, the PMS said one should not draw that conclusion. The Prime Minister had made his position very clear regarding the reasons why he did not feel as though it was appropriate for him as the British Prime Minister to attend this summit given that Mr Mugabe was attending. That said, we did want the summit to be a success; we were participating in the summit, although not at Ministerial level; Baroness Amos was representing the Prime Minister and she had been talking about what the British Government was hoping to achieve from this summit on the radio this morning.
