Editorial comments:

This document is probably briefing for MT's post-Council press conference originating with the FCO, but possibly with input from No.10. Preceded by a copy of the Council's conclusions (pp1-10). A small section of the briefing at the end is dated 28 March, ie, precedes the Council itself. Read other documents selected from this file.
