    [02] Greece EU Presidency will work for a common EU stance on Iraq crisis.

    A letter signed by British Prime-minister, Tony Blair and the leaders of other 7 European allies, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary, expressing support for the tough U.S stance on Iraq has left behind a divided Europe at odds on how to deal with Iraq. The European Commission has kept a distance saying, the letter reflects personal views and not the EU foreign policy.

    EU President, Greece criticised the letter .The way in which the initiative on Iraq was expressed does not contribute to the common approach to the problem, Prime-minister Simitis said in a statement in his role as EU President adding that Greece EU Presidence will continue working for a common EU stance. Foreign Minister, George Papandreou said that they way the 8 leaders acted could be misinterpreted.

    British Prime-minister, Tony Blair told reporters the letter showed there was a substantial body of European opinion in favor of the position we set out while Blair s spokesman said, France and Germany -the two EU heavyweight countries-critics of the U.S position were not invited to sign.

    France and Russia another country opposed to unilateral action by Washington against Iraq are among five veto wielding members in the Security Council.

    In the meantime, a poll conducted from January 21-27 indicates that in 30 European states an overwhelming majority of 82% of the people opposes to an attack on Iraq without a previous UN Security Council resolution.
