Report of meeting between UK Prime Minister, George Brown, and European Commission President José Manuel Barroso in London, 11 October 2007. Gordon Brown insisted that British interests will be safeguarded when EU leaders met at an informal European Council summit, Lisbon, 18-19 October 2007. Speaking at a joint press conference with EU President Jose Manuel Barroso, the Prime Minister said that the UK had succeeded in having its 'red-lines' written into the text of the EU amending treaty. Opt-outs and vetoes relating to matters such as national security, foreign policy and social security payments would be present 'in the detail' of the document to be considered at the EU Summit on 18 October, he said. |
