Klaus criticises last EU summit

On the eve of a visit to Austria, Czech president Vaclav Klaus has strongly criticised the last EU summit, which decided on voting rights for member states. In an article entitled More Integration, Less Unification, which was published in the Austrian newspaper Die Presse, Mr Klaus said that it was more important to clearly set parameters for what the European Union should vote on than to decide on the manner in which votes should be taken. Mr Klaus - a well known Euro-sceptic - has repeatedly warned against too many executive powers being ceded to Brussels by nation states.
