Peter Preston recommends a Luxembourger (any Luxembourger, presumably) for the job of EU "President", saying that the role is a non-entity and that Blair lacks all the necessary skills:
...the specification here (is) a rather non-grand spec for future bureaucratic action. Must be proven administrator; will need conciliation skills, stamina and extra helpings of humility; high public profile not a handicap (when it comes to kicking Latvia or Slovakia behind the arras) but tact and resilience valued above any other traits. Is that Blair past or Blair present? Not remotely. He can't be self-effacing. His administrative legacy is a Whitehall that loses as many laptops as plots.
