             Standing in solidarity with Mr. Cameron, the Chancellor said that Germany would like to be a part of the process that is going in Great Britain at the moment and her wish to be a constructive partner in this process.
              The picture on the German news site Spiegel is striking : the British prime minister leaning close to kiss a smiling German chancellor..
                             
                                But the accompanying headline was more of a surprise to Germans : Merkel doesn't rule out treaty change!"  Mrs. Merkel's decision is a matter of astonishment to the Germans because she, like the leaders of France and Poland, kept herself away from such a treaty.
