INTERVIEWER:
Do you think there is any chance that the Dunes will be able to
tack something on to Maastricht and you will be able to say:
Look! We have got this now!

which you hope will allay people's
fears?
FOREIGN SECRETARY:
We won't do that at Birmingham because it isn't until the beginning of next week, I think, or maybe the end of this week, that the Danes will produce their White Paper with their ideas but I hope we can reach some agreement at Edinburgh following the lines which will be set at Birmingham but an agreement which will help the Danes, will help us, indeed will help everybody in the countries where there is this anxiety which isn't so much about
the Treaty of Maastricht it is about the Community as it is today.

INTERVIEWER:
There was a report a couple of days ago that Mr. Major and presumably yourself were anxious for other European leaders to come out fighting and help you convince the British public or those who might be sceptical about it. Is that something you will be pursuing and explaining in Portugal today?
what can
they do that will help?
