From Open Europe's press summary for today:
"The Mail reports that Foreign Secretary David Miliband has said that the decision by Iceland ’s President Olafur Ragnar Grimsson to send the Icesave bill, allowing the repayment of £3.6bn to British and Dutch savers, to a referendum will not affect its bid to join the EU. Iceland ’s Foreign Minister Ossur Skarphedinsson is quoted saying: “I have spoken to Foreign Secretary Miliband and I have his permission to state officially that this will not affect the EU application.” (my emphasis)
'I have his permission.....' WTF! Isn't Ashton supposed to be the 'foreign' voice of the EU?
Just a thought...........
