British PM to avoid EU 60th anniversary party

It has been revealed that the British Prime Minister Theresa May will not take part in the EU which is to take place in Rome next to mark the 60^th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome.

According a source from the EU, her decision not to be present at the event was “entirely logical” because of the attention of the summit would be centred on the future of the European Union, of which the UK would not be member to any time soon.

Despite May’s resolve to trigger Article 50 by the end of March, Italian officials have told the British government not to make any attempt that would jeopardize the Rome party. This is because the summit will start on March 25.

“The door was open, but the response was, ‘We don’t think it is appropriate for us,’” an EU diplomat said of the U.K. response to the invite.
