| Greeks put Iraq summit on hold |
| 2003-02-07 |
| The Greek EU Presidency has postponed its plans for a special summit on the Iraq crisis reports Austrian newspaper, die Presse. It may instead hold the talks during the course of the scheduled meeting of EU foreign ministers at the General Affairs Council on 24 February. The meeting will not be held before the next UN weapons inspectors report is presented on 14 February as it is still uncertain whether it should be at the level of foreign ministers or heads of state and government. The reason for the delay, said a diplomat, was the differing positions of the European members of the UN Security Council – France, Germany, Spain and the UK. Paris and London are reported to have "little enthusiasm" for a special summit. Heh, heh, heh. They know they don't have the votes to present a unified anti-american position, which is what they wanted. |
