UK PM set for high level EU economy summit
Tony Blair is set for a high-level meeting with his French and German counterparts to discuss means of cutting red tape and boosting economic growth prospects in the European Union.
The prime minister, Jacques Chirac and Gerhard Schroeder are scheduled to meet in Berlin, along with key senior ministers, to assess the ramifications for the union as 10 new accession countries enter the Union on May 1st. The trilateral "mini" summit also comes ahead of next month's spring.
The European constitution, the Common Agricultural Policy, EU defense, and the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan are also likely to be discussed during the summit, according to analysts.
