(see related)A united Europe cannot
do without the United Kingdom, Italian Premier Matteo Renzi said
Friday after meeting with outgoing European Commission President
José Manuel Barroso in Rome.
"It is essential for Europe that the UK remain a part of
the great European challenge," said Renzi, adding that he
"respects but does not share" Prime Minister David Cameron's
opinion of Jean-Claude Juncker, whose candidacy to replace
Barroso he opposed.
Cameron may not agree on Juncker but he does agree with the
European Council's strategic document, which was voted on in a
June summit in Brussels, the Italian premier said.
