EU constitutional Reform Priorities for the Italian Presidency
Istituto Affari Internazionali
June 2003
Introduction
This document is intended to:
- highlight the main achievements of the Constitutional Treaty drafted by the European Convention which shouldbe fully endorsed by the Intergovernmental Conference (IGC);
- emphasise some critical points of the Draft Constitutional Treaty that need to be revised to ensure an effective functioning of the European Union, avoid the risk of a decision-making paralysis and make possible future constitutional adaptations;
- suggest further modifications to the Draft Constitutional Treaty which appear necessary for a truly, effective constitutional reform of the Union
