ANGRY CAMERON REJECTS EU BILL

UK Prime Minister David Cameron says he is 'angry' at a 2 billion euro bill the European Union is demanding by the 1st December.

In a heated press conference in Brussels, Mr Cameron said Britain would not be paying up by that date and may launch a legal challenge against it.

The surcharge follows a review of economic performance since 1995 which showed Britain has performed better than previously thought, and therefore owes more to the European Union budget.

EU finance ministers have agreed to the UK's request for emergency talks on the subject - although some countries such as France and Germany will be in line for a rebate.

David Cameron told a press conference in Brussels that Britain would not acquiesce.
