We need a long period of consolidation to allow the project to bed-in and to stop producing piecemeal treaties. We negotiated the Treaty of Nice because it dealt with issues that were left over from the Amsterdam treaty. We had the Treaty of Amsterdam because some issues were not dealt with in the Treaty of Maastricht when the Union got around to producing a big treaty. It is about time that we drew a line under that. The convention is listening to submissions and analysing them; it is not yet drafting documents.
