Why treaty change matters for business and for Britain

If Britain blocks Germany's plans to forge an agreement on a new EU treaty in June 2007, the consequences would be grim, according to a policy brief published May 2007 by the Centre for European Reform and Business for New Europe. In 'Why treaty change matters for business and for Britain', Hugo Brady and Charles Grant argue without a deal on a new treaty, enlargement will stop and the EU will be unable to develop effective policies on climate change, the Doha trade round, Russia, the Middle East and much else.
