Six of the ten working groups operating within the convention have produced reports. The four remaining groups will complete their reports before Christmas. At the end of October the convention president, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, brought forward what he called a "preliminary draft constitutional treaty." It sets out, in very outline form, the areas he sees being included in a future treaty. The convention is working towards completing its task and bringing forward a set of recommendations by consensus early in the summer of 2003. These recommendations will be a key input to the Intergovernmental Conference that will follow.
