EU is not just UK and France. Soon there are 23 other countries. CAP is changing but too slowly.

I think and hope next time EU is ready to give in quite a lot on agrisubsidies. This time Lamy had arrogant and stupid attitude that cost a lot of goodwill for EU, and his position and tactics were not supported by all EU-members. UK has been mentioned, also at one stage it was rumoured that Sweden had joined G23 :D. Not quite, but Sweden supported most of their demands.

Too bad both UK and Sweden are outside Eurozone. Thats where the real decisions are made.
