EU Foreign Minister Baroness Catherine Ashton - who is also the UK's EU Commissioner - failed to attend a critical debate in Brussels yesterday on proposals to scrap Britain's annual £3 billion EU rebate because she was taking part in an anti-piracy conference at a luxurious island resort in Mauritius. The articles report that her absence meant that no one raised any objections to plans by the EU's Budget Commissioner Janusz Lewandowski to include proposals to end the rebate in the EU budget review which will go before politicians later this month. Ashton also missed the first budget meeting last month when Lewandowski said that the 1984 rebate deal had lost its original "justification".

1jola: Baroness Ashton She is not even elected for her position. To make it worse she has never been voted for by anyone ever. That's EU democracy right there.

Still, a rebate is a rebate and you can't diddle sb out of it without a solid reason.
