Blair to stand 会社／堅い in EU 会談

EU leaders begin a 戦う／戦い for 力／強力にする today at 会談 on a 議論の的になる 憲法 for Europe.

総理大臣 Tony Blair arrived in Brussels last night sticking to his "red lines" to 保護する

国家の 主権，独立.

But he 主張するd he was after a good 取引，協定 for Europe 同様に as for the UK.

Other EU leaders have their own no-go areas too in a コンビナート／複合体 web of 協定s they hope will 簡素化する EU 決定／判定勝ち（する）-making and 避ける bureaucratic and political gridlock after 拡大 next year.

"Europe of 15 nations is becoming a Europe of 25," said Mr Blair.

"It is a 抱擁する change and we have to make sure we take the 権利 決定／判定勝ち（する）s - 決定／判定勝ち（する）s that aren't just in the British 利益／興味, although that is very important for me, but 決定／判定勝ち（する）s also to make Europe work 効果的に. So of course it's going to be a 堅い 交渉."

Last night he held 会談 with Italian 総理大臣 Silvio Berlusconi and today Mr Blair was beginning with breakfast 会合s with French 大統領 Jacques Chirac and German （ドイツなどの）首相／（大学の）学長 Gerhard Schroeder.

The 首脳会議 mood has been helped by major 進歩 に向かって a 取引，協定 on 未来 European defence - with the 支援 of both Nato and Washington.

The 文書 on the （米）棚上げする／（英）提議する, a 重要な part of the 提案するd new 憲法, 示すs a 打開 for 操作の defence 率先s under the EU.

And its 条件 満足させる Mr Blair because they make （疑いを）晴らす that any EU 軍の defence 操作／手術s will complement Nato and not compete with it.

That will not stop eurosceptics 告発する／非難するing Mr Blair of selling out on the UK's 伝統的な transatlantic かかわり合いs to Nato, making the 総理大臣 even more 決定するd to 現れる from the 会談 with the 権利 of 国家の 拒否権 損なわれていない not just on defence but on 外交政策,

課税, the economy and social 安全.

But much more is 伴う／関わるd in a 取引，協定 designed to 始める，決める out the EU's 目的, 目的（とする）s, 力／強力にするs and 責任／義務s for １０年間s to come.

The b artering may last for days, on everything from the size of the 未来 European （売買）手数料，委託（する）／委員会／権限 and the 役割 of a new EU "外務大臣" to the number of 投票（する）s each country gets on EU 政策 提案s.

It boils 負かす／撃墜する to a 交渉 about 力／強力にする, with Mr Blair keen to 確実にする EU 政策-making clout is tipped in favour of EU 政府s themselves.

He is 支援するd by the other four of the "big five" member 明言する／公表するs - フラン, Spain, Germany and Italy.

But the small EU countries - 特に the newcomers from central and eastern Europe who join next May - 恐れる 存在 sidelined unless a stronger European （売買）手数料，委託（する）／委員会／権限 代表するs their 利益／興味s.

The 提案するd new 地位，任命する of an EU "外務大臣" is 原因（となる）ing a 力／強力にする struggle too - because some want the new figurehead to be based in the （売買）手数料，委託（する）／委員会／権限 while others say he or she should work まず第一に／本来 for EU 政府s.

One of the biggest つまずくing 封鎖するs does not 伴う／関わるs the UK at all: Poland and Spain are trying to 粘着する on to their 現在の 投票（する）ing strength - 27 投票（する）s each, in countries with 全住民s of about 40 million each.

Germany, which has 二塁打 the 全住民 but only two 投票（する）s more, says the balance has to 是正するd by 減ずるing Spanish and ポーランドの（人） clout in 未来.

The 首脳会議 ringmaster is Mr Berlusconi, whose 目的（とする） is to 現れる 勝利を得た with a 憲法 取引，協定 by Sunday.

Others are いっそう少なく 確信して, 予報するing the 問題／発行するs are too 複雑にするd and that one or other leader will 封鎖する the 要求するd 全員一致の 決定／判定勝ち（する） to

避ける giving ground.

That would not 量 to a 危機, によれば Foreign 長官 Jack Straw, who is at the 会談 with Mr Blair.

But 失敗 to agree would 原因（となる） 騒動 over the EU's 試みる／企てる to recast itself as efficient, 効果的な and a player on the world 行う／開催する／段階.

It would also send the wrong signal to the public - 耐えるing in mind that whatever 憲法 is agreed now or later will have to 生き残る 国民投票 in many of the member 明言する／公表するs.
