Sarkozy has Blair's agreement on Mini/Max Treaty

The following report was from EU Business last evening, linked here. No trace in the British media naturally enough! The item begins:

Sarkozy says has agreed outline of EU 'treaty' with Blair

07 June 2007, 20:41 CET

(HEILIGENDAMM) - French President Nicolas Sarkozy said here on Thursday he and British Prime Minister Tony Blair had agreed on "what could be the framework of a simplified treaty" for the European Union.

"Tony Blair and I have just agreed on what could be the framework of a simplified treaty," Sarkozy said on the sidelines of the Group of Eight summit in the Baltic Sea resort of Heiligendamm.................

This report on the same press release from 'The Peninsula Online' in Qatar, linked here, also has this concluding paragraph:

He added that he had agreed with Blair on how to tackle the thorny issue of fundamental rights that were enshrined in the old constitution, but did not go into details. Combined with the statement in yesterday's Financial Times editorial, linked from the post below, it appears the scam incorporating the document on 'Fundamental Rights' is also a done deal, rather than the comic book irrelevance once claimed by Blair's Government. I quote: So the British are demanding all they can get, going back on all sorts of previous agreements – such as majority voting on police co-operation (needed for counter-terrorism) and incorporating the charter of fundamental rights in the treaty.
