What is he doing?
Britain has already won a great deal of what it wants. The word “constitution” abandoned. A “reform treaty” in its place. The title “foreign minister” dropped. But he will tell the other presidents and prime ministers that he must get not 90% of his demands but 100%. This makes me think that an agreement must be just about in the bag. But some of his demands seem almost calculated to offend. For instance, he wants it made clear that Javier Solana, or whoever becomes whatever it is they decide to call now the new foreign affairs chief, is just a servant of the prime ministers and presidents of the European Union and can’t go off and make policy on their own.
Sour feelings
There’s no doubt some countries feel sour towards Britain. Earlier this week, in Luxembourg, I was at a news conference held by the Czech deputy prime minister. When one journalist referred to “the constitution” he wagged his finger and said with a smile, “The treaty you mean”. Some of the journalists erupted. Spanish and Germans objected, with genuine passion: “But you signed it! If it was good two years ago, what’s wrong with it now?” If that’s what mere hacks feel, imagine what the politicians say. I tried to draw a senior British diplomat down this route, suggesting the British red lines were all about domestic politics not about the national interest, as perceived by the government. Urbanely, he replied there was no difference. Not for diplomats anyway.Statistical anomaly.

Poland and the UK got away with too much, but aside from this it's ok.
Seriously, it was rather fun too see how everything began to move and the twins flip flopped after they were confronted with the idea of a governmental conference without Poland. Maybe they learned for the next time that they aren't the only ones who can take a more agressive stand in such negotiations.BlahComment

Meh, seems like a bearable change. Provides less ammunition for people to accuse the EU of being a 'neoliberal' project.

"Bearable" probably nails it. Still it's leaving a pretty bad aftertaste.Comment
