European Union leaders embrace multi-speed Europe




   France, Germany, Italy and Spain have backed the idea of a multi-speed EU, as the 28-nation bloc prepares to mark 60 years since its founding treaty.

   French President Francois Hollande said that "Unity does not mean uniformity,"  as he hosted the other leaders in the ornate Versailles Palace near Paris.
   The EU Commission accepts that projects do not have to involve all EU members.
   According to reports, EU leaders are focusing on a strategy of promising both deeper co-operation but also the possibility of different member states joining common projects at times that suit them.
