- Jean-Claude Juncker, Luxembourg's premier and leader of the bloc of 13 single currency members, spoke out as the Prime Minister faced rising calls for a referendum on the treaty drawn up following the rejection of the old EU constitution by French and Dutch voters in 2005.
Mr Juncker said he supported public debate on the treaty - except in Britain.
"I am astonished at those who are afraid of the people: one can always explain that what is in the interest of Europe is in the interests of our countries," he told Belgian newspaper Le Soir.
"Britain is different. Of course there will be transfers of sovereignty. But would I be intelligent to draw the attention of public opinion to this fact?" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/07/03/weu103.xml

May I answer to this rhetoric question. Yes Mr Juncker, your silly interview drew the attention of British public opinion pretty well. | |
