As far as I know, they could only do that by using their "Veto" and I haven't heard about them doing that; so if you can find some corroboration, a link would be handy.  I take it this would also be the same government, that want us to remain in the EU.......I don't know about you, but the more they open their mouths; the more I'm inclined to do the opposite.......to ensure my survival.
