Regarding the timetable, the Convention is scheduled to complete its work in early June and the draft constitution will be given to the Thessaloníki European Council by the president of the Convention. The debate will the be taken up by member states and an Intergovernmental Conference will be established at some point, though we do not know when. The idea is that a period of reflection will be provided to ensure a gap, perhaps of some months, between the conclusion of the Convention and the start of the Intergovernmental Conference which could span both the Italian and Irish Presidencies of the Council but it is felt should not continue too long and conclude with the Irish Presidency at the latest.
