European Leaders Meeting

Asked if there was any reason why the meeting in London with the leaders of France, Germany and Italy had been moved back to the end of January, the PMS replied that he thought it was entirely down to diary issues.

Asked if we thought that Italy had been annoyed by not being invited in the first place, the PMS replied that Italy had been invited. There had certainly been discussions with the Italians about this, and the Italians had been invited.

Put that Italy had been reticent in confirming its attendance, the PMS replied that again as he understood it was a diary issue, Italy were keen to attend.

Asked what the Prime Minister’s view was on the former Prime Minister becoming the new President of the EU, the PMS replied that it was best to refer to the most recent statement from the Prime Minister at the press conference he gave at the Lisbon Summit last year, which would be on the No10 website.
