An Evaluation of the European Union Constitutional Treaty

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The Convention on the Future of Europe has completed its work and submitted the “Draft Treaty Establishing a Constitution for Europe” to the Presidency on the 18th of July, 2003. This “draft” which brings forth certain fundamental changes to the institutional structure of the Union will now be discussed and adopted-albeit with amendments- by the Intergovernmental Conference, by the consensus of the EU Member States. The Convention’s objective was twofold; to prepare the Union’s institutional and legal structure on the one hand for the widening, and on the other, for the deepening of the integration process. In that context, the Convention has been the arena of the ever-present dichotomy of the European integration; the debate between the intergovernmentalists and federalists and the outcome reflects the attempts of striking and preserving a balance. Here it is submitted that such balance has been preserved to a huge extent.
