PM Meets With French President
Prime Minister David Cameron is to meet with French President Nicolas Sarkozy to discuss the Eurozone crisis and to try and prevent the single currency from breaking up. The two men will meet in Paris to discuss the debt, which is crippling Europe and threatens to drag Britain back into recession. Meanwhile they will also enter into talks about reorganising the euro zone governances, leading to more co-operation from the 17 EU members, and in turn may marginalise Britain’s influence in the EU. This move will be considered by the European Council next week.
