When Jean-Claude Juncker was elected President of the EU Commission on July 15, 2014 he said :
"This time it's different ! Let us jointly show ... we are able to really change and renew Europe" !
Yesterday Juncker reacted vigorously after David Cameron said he would hold a Referendum after negotiating changes to EU Treaties. Juncker in fact made it quite clear, through his aides, that there would be no time available before the year 2020 at the earliest !
Has Jean Claude Juncker completely forgotten his job definition ? He is President of the EU Commission which also includes countries not in the EUROZONE ! He is allowed to sit in as a non voting member at meetings of the Council of Ministers when the Heads of State meet.
If Ministers decide that they want to make changes to EU Treaties, they will find the time for the necessary discussions ! Even before 2019, when Juncker must stand for re-election !
