| Subject: EC vice president says UK exit 'would be very bad news' Mon Jun 30, 2014 6:16 am | |
| The vice president of the European Commission has said "it would be very bad news" if the UK left the EU.
Joaquin Almunia also predicted that David Cameron would be able to work with the in-coming European Commission president, Jean-Claude Juncker.
He told the BBC Mr Juncker was "a committed pro-European" but also "a pragmatic politician" and the UK "was an important member of the EU".
The PM faces MPs later, after failing to stop Mr Juncker's appointment.
The prime minister forced a vote of EU states on Friday on the selection of Mr Juncker - but lost it 26-2.
