Chirac wants the UK's rebate back

Chirac must be getting worried about the referendum on the EU Constitutional Treaty in France if he has to start up on the Anglophobia! I find it staggering that this is being put on the table now, and also a political mistake to be so explicit by the EU. They have made it quite clear that we have a key bargaining chip in the UK, and it seems they do need us, despite what some say.
