Merkel ally tells UK to be less selfish on Europe

None

A senior member of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative bloc called on Britain on Tuesday to be less self-centered in its relationship with Europe despite not being a member of the single European currency.

 

"The British are not members of the currency union but they are members of Europe and they also have a responsibility for the success of Europe," Volker Kauder, conservative leader in parliament, told the annual congress of Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU) in Leipzig. (Reuters)
