France extremely concerns about the prime minister's push to protect non-Euro countries from Euro zone regulations. Fair enough, you might say, most EU countries use the Euro, why should they be allowed to gang up to the disadvantage of non-Euro countries like Britain. But France thinks David Cameron is being sneaky, that what he wants is a special deal for the city of London, that what he wants is a back door veto on wider Euro zone legislation.

法国非常关注卡梅伦欧元监管区对非欧元区国家的举措。可能大家会说，大多数欧盟国家都使用欧元，为什么要联合反对英国等非欧元国家的弊端。但是法国认为大卫·卡梅伦的举措并不妥当，卡梅伦想要的是伦敦的特殊地位，更广泛的立法否决权。
