UK premier urges German chancellor to revive EU renegotiations
Charles Grant, director of the CER, has studied the UK-German relationship and says the British side feels that the Germans "aren’t being as helpful as they might be" on the question of welfare for migrant workers.
Meanwhile, he says Ms Merkel's team views as "special pleading" British demands for protection for non-eurozone countries and their place in the EU single market. "They see it as crude protectionism for the City," he said.
