BBC News - Merkel and Cameron in battle over European Commission
▻http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-27774235
The leaders of Sweden, Germany, Britain and the Netherlands are meeting at a mini-EU summit near Stockholm to try to reach a consensus on European reform.
The controversial question of who is to head the European Commission is likely to be discussed, but not officially.
UK PM David Cameron is expected to try to get leaders on-side to block Jean-Claude Juncker taking the job.
It sets him against German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who publicly supports the ex-Luxembourg leader’s appointment.
