Convention on the Future of Europe: Statements.

 

We will then be in a Union of 27 members. It will be a different type of union. We need to let the public know that the reform had to come and that, whatever the changes which must go with that reform, we will hold our identity. We are a member state and each of the states has a different history, different culture and way of life. We must maintain that difference while working together. The Convention has achieved this aim. The composition and size of the Commission, the reform of the Council of Europe and the Council of Ministers and the achievement of a balance in the institutions are issues to be considered.
