I want to speak about the institutions of the European Union and how they will be revamped and strengthened in the next session of the Convention on the Future of Europe. I thought there were only two schools of thought in relation to the election of the president but there now seems to be three on how this process should move forward. Perhaps the Minister of State will clarify this. We can often say too much and become confused. Perhaps the Minister of State will outline the Government's approach to the selection process and how it should be transparent and open. We should all feel involved rather than allowing the process to take place behind closed doors.
