Convention on the Future of Europe: Statements.
Last week, members of the Convention were also issued with the drafts of articles dealing with the legal instruments of the Union. I am considering these and will be consulting Departments to see if amendments are required. They have already been discussed by the Oireachtas Joint Committee on European Affairs during a full session yesterday. Further articles will be presented over the coming two months and the aim is to have a full draft of the new treaty ready in May. The Convention is still due to submit a final report to the European Council to be held in ThessalonĂki in Greece in June.
