German MEP slams Britain's stance on EU consitution

Britain's opposition to plans for a revamped European Union treaty threatens to split the bloc, the head of the European parliament's constitutional affairs committee charged Wednesday. Jo Leinen, a German socialist MEP, said Britain's stance was complicating the negotiation process and "endangering consensus and a resolution in June".

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose country holds the rotating EU presidency until the end of June, plans to present the 27 EU nations with plans to replace the original EU constitution before the German mandate expires.
