".
I thank the questioner for his gracious remarks on my initial answer. Let me elaborate on that answer. As I said, the position of the British Government was stated by our Prime Minister and the strong case for increased Council transparency is clearly recognised. However, there is further work to be done, not least because a balance has to be struck between what I think are understandable objectives and desires on the part of the British Government and several other Member States and due regard for the decision by the European Council in June that a pause for reflection was necessary, following the decisive decisions in the Dutch and French referenda.
As I said, I would not seek to close down the discussion that will no doubt take place in light of the correspondence in the London
yesterday. I merely offer what I think should be regarded as a holding reply while consideration is given as to the best way forward."@en1
