Relations with US to dominate EU Athens summit

THE US and its concerns worldwide will be a major focus for the EU summit that begins in Greece tomorrow and is likely to dominate the three-day meeting.

This will be the first time the leaders of the 25 current and electivemember states sit around the same table at a summit.

It is also the last summit to be held outside Brussels. Up to now the quarterlymeetings were held in the member state holding the six-month rotating presidency.
