Costly EU exit for Britain — Rompuy
Mar 01, 2013
ON, England (AFP) — EU president Herman van Rompuy warned yesterday that Britain will struggle to win support for its plans to renegotiate its membership of the European Union, and said that trying to exit the bloc could prove costly.
In a speech in London, Van Rompuy urged Britain to stay inside the 27-member group, saying it had a role to play in reforming the union and would have a stronger voice in world affairs than if it went it alone.
But the European Council president said there was no appetite among EU leaders for any major treaty change, insisting the focus for the coming years would be on restoring stability after the crisis in the eurozone.
