European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso talks with Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron at a European Union summit. Mr Cameron has effectively vetored an EU-wide treaty change to tackle the eurozone crisis, saying it was not in the UK’s interests. Instead a new “accord” setting out tought budget rules will now be drawn up for the eurozone and at least six other EU states which want to sign up. Mr Barroso said he regretted that unanimity on treaty change had not been possible. (via BBC News)
