David Cameron has sought to achieve consensus among European leaders about his decision, especially after French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been conducting a personal attack on his leadership. The Prime Minister told MPs to be in close contact with their counterparts in other Member States and insisted that the country is not one against 26.

But tensions between Britain and France increased further last night, after an unconfirmed report, published by a French magazine, mentioning the words spoken by President Sarkozy in which he accuses Cameron behaving like a stubborn child. From the words of Sarkozy you understand that Cameron has acted like a stubborn child with a single obsession: to protect his city.

Speaking of the decision reached during the weekend, Sarkozy said it was positive. The agreement may not put an end to the crisis, but it is a tool to deal with it.

Cameron has confirmed the call to the leaders of the Czech Republic and Sweden, two countries not adopting the euro could falter when it comes to sign the agreement, as he called the Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny.

Downing Street said that David Cameron has reiterated the position of the United Kingdom. For each call, the leaders agreed to develop close cooperation with the resolution of European issues, promoting jobs and growth through the single market. They agreed that the priority for the European economy is global and decisive action.

In Berlin, Chancellor Angela Merkel has tried to mend the rift with London saying that without a doubt Britain will continue to be an important partner within the European Union.

Downing Street has confirmed that in all cases the position has not changed and that Britain will be registered with the Treaty and will only guarantee of the City of London.
