"It is very difficult," Tony Blair said. "The meeting I have just had with President Chirac was immensely amicable, but obviously there was a sharp disagreement.
"I think it is difficult to see these differences being bridged, but of course we continue to talk to people including the presidency about it."
Chirac expects the UK to return their refund negotiated by Thatcher, while Chirac claims farming subsidies, which France is the main benefactor are off the table. If Chirac is unwilling to give back his subsidies why would the UK even consider giving back the rebate. The EU is reeling, I still think the UK should move forward with their referendum just to kill the EU once and for all.
