Abstract
"Big Three? is a word that came into being in February 2004 as the French President Mr. Chirac, the British Prime Minister Mr. Blair and the German Chancellor Mr. Schröder met in Berlin. The alliance between Germany France and the UK may seem obvious to a reader. However these countries have often opposed each other in the past on many issues within the European arena. Historically the main alliance in the EC and after within the EU is the German French axis. It was the basis of the foundation of the CSEC and has long been presented as the ruling body of the Union. However there have been some fights in the last decade, which lead to the building of a stronger link between Germany and Britain.
