Germany: UKE Bonn telegram 855 to FCO (1204Z) (“Mr Ridley's resignation and the German Seminar”) [extensive German press coverage of resignation, less of Chequers seminar except on radio and television; main editorial view is that episode "reveals more about UK self-doubt and internal debate over European policy than about today's Germany"] [declassified Dec 2016]
