My immediate thought was that this was directed at Mr. Brown as well as the Irish.
For years the British have been most keen on expansion, whereas the French have been most reticent - thus they use what our government wants (expansion) to get what they want (Lisbon or similar)...standard E.U. operation, I'm only surprised that they haven't tried to slip in another C.A.P. funding extension.
