The revised overall draft of an EU constitutional treaty published at the end of May is representative of this work and marks an important step forward for the Convention and the Union as a whole. Though much of the text is reprinted from existing clauses in various treaties, many of the articles are intended to be modernising and reforming. This draft constitution contains many welcome changes. Most importantly, this constitutional draft, together with other work of the Convention, has been effective at dealing with challenges facing the Union going forward.
