After two weeks of fractious in-fighting that also saw France and Germany stand firm on moves to sanction overspending states by removing their EU voting rights, the 27 EU governments now have to sell &quot;Lisbon: the sequel&quot; to their domestic electorates. Seven hours of tense talks on the first night of a two-day summit in Brussels were peppered with policy grenades launched by non-euro heavyweights Britain, which wants to cap the EU's budget next year, and Poland, which wants its debt calculated to take account of costly pension reforms. </span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>The talks -- described by diplomats as heated and emotional, with German Chancellor Angela Merkel the central figure -- eventually tasked EU president Herman Van Rompuy with paving the way for treaty change before a &quot;final&quot; decision at a December summit. &quot;Overall, we had a profound and difficult discussion,&quot; Merkel said afterwards. However, she insisted the EU had clearly underlined that &quot;private investors will not be able to make money or speculate against the euro&quot; thanks to other elements in a package of radical reform, the EU's biggest since the 1999 creation of the euro. Even the idea of &quot;light&quot; treaty change, as presented by Van Rompuy and the leaders in conclusions that will be formally endorsed later on Friday, did not enamour the likes of Austria, which has promised a referendum in such circumstances. Ireland's Taoiseach Brian Cowen -- whose country, potentially one of the first to eye-up a permanent, Greek-style emergency fund whose creation requires the treaty revision -- also said it was &quot;too early&quot; to tell what would be needed there.</span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>Merkel faced down critics who had a field day with high-profile EU figures saying she and French President Nicolas Sarkozy had opened a &quot;Pandora's Box&quot; of problems. The EU's aim is to implement changes by mid-2013, the expiry point for a temporary, three-year fund set up in May to reassure markets fearing contagious side-effects from Athens.The hard-fought Lisbon Treaty was a decade in the making and only came into effect last December after failed referendums and tough talks. In a rare intervention, the European Commission doyenne and justice heavyweight Viviane Reding said it seemed &quot;completely irresponsible to put illusions about new treaties on the table.&quot;Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn also warned of &quot;a risk that we will be plunged back into months and years of navel-gazing.&quot; But Germany feared that its Constitutional Court will block a bid to give perpetual life to a 440-billion-euro European Financial Stability Fund unless the treaty is changed to spell out that a country can be saved from bankruptcy by its partners. The treaty currently has a &quot;no bail-out&quot; clause, which Van Rompuy said would not be touched. Instead a separate clause will be amended. Merkel's government has to date funded the lion's share among states that use the euro.</span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>British Prime Minister David Cameron meanwhile secured a commitment at the summit for EU leaders to debate parameters for a rising bloc budget at a time of national austerity come a December summit. But both houses of parliament in London could yet be required to ratify a change. After a climbdown having previously fought for a cash freeze, even the capped increase he now wants will cost Britain, fresh from its fiercest cuts in decades, 435 million pounds (some 500 million euros, 700 million dollars).</span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><b><span style='font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color:black'>PRAYER ISSUES: WILL THE PRIME MINISTERS APPEAL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON THE DEBATE?</span></b></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>EU COUNCIL</span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Arial Black","sans-serif";color:black'> BUZEK CLASHES WITH EU LEADERS OVER 'UN-EUROPEAN' BUDGET </span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#010101'><a href="http://euobserver.com/9/31153/?rk=1"><span style='font-size:12.0pt; font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:windowtext'>http://euobserver.com/9/31153/?rk=1</span></a></span><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> </span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>VALENTINA POP</span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>28.10.2010 @ 22:49 CET</span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS  A compromise on the 2011 EU budget is likely to coalesce around a three-percent increase compared to this year's spending after a vivid discussion among EU leaders and the European Parliament's chief about the rationale of raising the figure when most capitals are being forced to cut their own budgets. The meeting, which usually consists of EU Parliament chief Jerzy Buzek reading out a statement and then leaving, took an extra hour to wrap up, as British Prime Minister David Cameron intervened to counter the parliament's plea for a six percent increase in the EU budget. Roughly a dozen other leaders then intervened as well, mostly backing the British premier. The Belgian and the Greek prime ministers were among the few who supported Mr Buzek's plea.&quot;Anyone who is against the six-percent increase is anti-European,&quot; Mr Buzek told EU leaders, according to diplomats present at the debate, which took place behind closed doors. Mr Cameron retorted, diplomats say: &quot;Wait a minute. I just cut the budget for my police, does that make me anti-police?&quot;German Chancellor Angela Merkel also jumped in: &quot;And I cut the German budget, does that make me anti-German?&quot;In a press conference after the meeting, Mr Buzek played down the opposition of leaders speaking against him. &quot;Most of the people who took the floor supported him [Mr Cameron], but 10 is not a majority [out of 27]. Opinions were split, everybody said these are rough times, but not everywhere is as severe as in the description Mr Cameron made,&quot; the Polish politician said. He also underlined that the parliament is willing to compromise on the six-percent figure, as long as there is &quot;serious talk&quot; about ensuring future funding for the EU's old and new policies. The Lisbon Treaty, he argued, had created new tasks for the EU: &quot;More responsibilities means more funds.&quot;&quot;It is absolutely necessary to have a compromise and finish [budget talks] in three weeks and then we want to start a serious discussion about future funding of EU policies. This is about the future of the EU itself.  </span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><b><span style='font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color:black'>PRAYER ISSUES: EU PARLIAMENT PRESIDENT CLASHES WITH OTHER EU LEADERS ON EU BUDGET MATTERS</span></b></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>EU COUNCIL</span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Arial Black","sans-serif";color:black'>EU LEADERS BACK 'LIMITED' TREATY CHANGE, BUDGET CAP [FR] [DE]</span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#010101'><a href="http://euractiv.com/en/future-eu/eu-leaders-back-limited-treaty-change-budget-cap-news-499297"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>http://euractiv.com/en/future-eu/eu-leaders-back-limited-treaty-change-budget-cap-news-499297</span></a></span><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> </span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>Published: 29 October 2010 </span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> Britain and other European Union countries put their weight behind Franco-German calls for tougher eurozone rules at a summit today (29 October), agreeing on &quot;limited&quot; changes to the EU's main treaty in return for a cap on the EU budget.</span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>Background</span></p> <div style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:1.0pt 4.0pt 1.0pt 4.0pt'> <div style='border:solid windowtext 1.0pt; padding:1.0pt 4.0pt 1.0pt 4.0pt'> <p class=MsoNoSpacing style='border:none; padding:0in;'><i><span style='font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color:black'>Negotiations between the European Parliament and the Council, which represents the 27 member countries on the EU's 2011 budget, kicked off on 27 October.

Regarding treaty change, the key word is &quot;simplified&quot;, officials explained. A simplified provision, enshrined in Article 48, Section 6 of the Lisbon Treaty, allows member countries to unanimously adopt a decision amending all or part of the main elements of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU (TFEU), which governs how the Union carries out its work. Such a procedure would avoid the need to call a constitutional convention, experts explained. In addition, the European Parliament would only be &quot;consulted&quot; instead of enjoying full voting rights as part of the normal co-decision procedure.</span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>The changes to the treaty are to be settled by mid-2013, before the expiry of the present emergency fund agreed earlier this year to deal with crises such as the one that hit Greece. The objective is to replace that with a permanent mechanism. The simplified treaty change procedure will not enter into force until it is approved by member states in accordance with their constitutions. Most EU countries are expected to ratify the decision by a simplified procedure in their parliaments. As for Ireland, it remains unclear whether a change effected in this way would require another referendum. Experts also explained that the treaty changes could not be attached to Croatia's accession treaty, as the issues were not enlargement-related.</span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><b><span style='font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color:black'>PRAYER ISSUES: THE HARD WORK OF TREATY CHANGES  PRAY AS YOU READ ALL OF THESE ARTICLES</span></b></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>EU COUNCIL</span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Arial Black","sans-serif";color:black'>THE TREAT OF TREATIES - WHY THE EUROPEAN UNION IS TALKING YET AGAIN OF RENEGOTIATING ITS RULEBOOK </span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#010101'><a href="http://www.economist.com/node/17307985?story_id=17307985"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>http://www.economist.com/node/17307985?story_id=17307985</span></a></span><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> </span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>Oct 21st 2010 </span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>. </span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>Brussels favourite game has been restarted by President Nicolas Sarkozy of France and the German chancellor, Angela Merkel.

The deal, signed in London by David Cameron and the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, has in part been forced on the two countries as they struggle with tightening defence budgets, but also reflects a level of mutual trust not seen for decades. At a joint press conference at Lancaster House, Cameron repeatedly stressed that the agreement strengthened British sovereignty as he said it opened a new chapter in Anglo-French relations. Seeking to defend himself from a Eurosceptic assault, with one Tory MP describing the French as &quot;duplicitous&quot;, Cameron stressed the treaties would not weaken British sovereignty and did not amount to a sharing of the UK's nuclear deterrent.</span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>EU UK</span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Arial Black","sans-serif";color:black'>EU PLANS FOR DIRECT TAX WOULD LEAD TO BRITISH REFERENDUM </span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#010101'><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/8086113/EU-plans-for-direct-tax-would-lead-to-British-referendum.html"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/8086113/EU-plans-for-direct-tax-would-lead-to-British-referendum.html</span></a></span><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'> </span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>By Bruno Waterfield in Brussels </span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>Published: 9:00PM BST 25 Oct 2010</span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>The European Union's plans to levy direct taxes on Britons and those in other member countries would amount to a &quot;transfer of sovereignty&quot; that would force the Coalition Government to hold a Europe referendum.  Janusz Lewandowski, the European budget commissioner, admitted that his plan would have to be 'ratified' in every country Photo: REUTERS  Janusz Lewandowski, the European budget commissioner, has told The Daily Telegraph that his recent proposals to finance the EU through VAT, carbon, aviation or financial transaction taxes would touch on &quot;holy&quot; elements of national sovereignty. </span></p> <p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>So sensitive is the plan, tabled last week, to move from payments made by national treasuries to giving the EU &quot;own resources&quot; through direct European taxation, that it would have to be &quot;ratified&quot; in every country, the commissioner admitted.
