In regard to local democracy, the issue of subsidiarity is dealt with in the Convention in a very appropriate way. In fact, it is dealt with in a more interesting way than we have dealt with it in this country. Subsidiarity goes to the heart of the argument of local versus national government or centralisation versus decentralisation. The Belgian Foreign Minister, Louis Michel, said to me some time ago when I was making a contribution on federalism, that in parts of Europe, including Belgium, subsidiarity and federalism were regarded as two sides of the same coin. We just take a different view. It is interesting that people in Europe take different views. Members will be aware that the Committee of the Regions has made a submission. I do not know how it will pan out because the Convention's focus is not inward as regards member states. Its primary job is to take existing treaties, bring them together and produce a coherent document. It does not have a remit to extend the competences of the Community in any way or enter into new areas.
