Convention on the Future of Europe: Statements.

 

There are worries about the framework of the Constitution and the Charter of Fundamental Rights and the right balance must be achieved so that competence is not eroded. We want to be able to maintain our ability to deal with issues such as fundamental rights and yet to give way where necessary when it comes to a question of European law. These are areas of concern that must be reformed and refined over the next days. Hopefully we will have time for reflection before the intergovernmental conference next October when we expect to have a very good treaty to put to the people.
