COSTA BLANCA NORTH YOUR PAPER, YOUR VOICE, YOUR OPINION
As the vote approaches SPAIN supports the British government By John Smith CONSIDERING the bellig ere n t p o s itio n th a t the a c tin g S p an is h F o reign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo has taken with regards to Gibraltar, his p o s itiv e co mmen ts on Britain and the EU following a meeting with Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond on February 15 have come as something of a surprise. In simple terms, he concedes that both Spain and the EU would be worse off w ith Brita in le a v in g the Union than if it remains following a number of changes to its terms of membership. It is very important to the British government that it obtains as much support for its proposals before the European Summit due to take place on February 18 and 19, when leaders of the member states will debate the reforms demanded by Britain to stay in the European Community.
