Members are under orders not to reveal the confidential discussions, but The Mail on Sunday has established that Mr Minc used the meeting to win support for Mr Sarkozy’s campaign to ensure Mr Blair becomes the President of Europe.
The role is due to be created next year – but only if the EU’s controversial Lisbon Treaty is ratified in the autumn by Ireland and the Czech Republic, the two EU countries which have so far refused to do so.
Critics claim it is another step on the road to a European superstate.

I knew it!
I knew all the European nations lost their sovereignty once they signed up for the EU. They willingly lost their sovereignty when they voted for EU memberships.
Now they're all going to be willing and obedient slaves to the current EU President (Tony Blair), and, to other EU Presidents whoever they may be in the future.
I knew the EU was a bad idea.
But I guess people in Europe don't mind losing their sovereignty.
Why have a President for the EU? It makes little sense to me. It's supposed to be an international coalition. Not working for some agenda of one guy.

How ridiculous explain me to me how a European presidency is any different from all of the American states being the U.S.A . Ridiculous i welcome a European government i see no problem in unity.
The E.U is no evil force, it is a beacon of hope for humanity and it's future. Funnily enough this is no different from the united states being a government and yet people dont see this.

Jesus Christ people! Why are you looking for the evil in something beautiful? We haven't been tricked into this, if anything a European state is a great thing, i mean whats wrong with unity?
- I think you need to look a bit more into the people in power in Europe and what their agenda is. Open your eyes man its control they are looking for, its a wolf in sheeps clothing. Yes it would be a beautiful thing if it wasn't corrupted and influenced by outside agendas.
The E.U is no evil force, it is a beacon of hope for humanity and it's future.
- If only what you say above was the actual reality. Im afraid its real agenda is one of power and control of the people. Its right there for all to see with the Lisbon Treaty. You make the reference to America. Well yes your right in every way. It is the same as Europe right down to the same Elite's who are pulling the strings behind its government. Sad to say that it could be a beautiful thing but unfortunately unless people like yourself wake up and smell the coffee beans its corruption will be felt for generations to come!

I'm sorry but you're going to have a lot more government regulation because of the EU and that's bad. We have enough government regulation from our country (our country=the US)... and I'm sorry... but I just see this as a bad thing...
