EU nations shut out reform of single currency, says Commissioner

Charles Grant, director of the Centre for European Reform said that some European ministers argue that Britain's refusal to be involved in the overhaul of the eurozone has made life extremely difficult for other non-euro countries. He said "There is a feeling among the Poles, Swedes, Danes and others concerned about this Franco-German initiative that Britain is partly to blame, because Britain, rightly or wrongly, has told the Germans they don't want to be involved. The Germans have reluctantly overcome their earlier resistance to French demands to make the eurozone an economic forum in its own right."
