"LONDON - The government of Prime Minister Tony Blair moved Thursday to rebut Franco-German calls for deeper integration among a core group of European Union states, saying that any attempt to split the Union into a two-tiered (zweistufig) bloc would threaten Britain's interests as well as the prospects for EU enlargement."

(Tom Buerkle in the International Herald Tribune 30th June 2000)
