Convention on the Future of Europe: Statements.
With only a week remaining to conclude its work, much of the focus has been on trying to resolve the outstanding institutional questions. The leader of the Convention has been criticised for leaving institutional matters to a very late stage. We all recognise a political tactic when we see it. Throughout the convention process, the Government tried to be flexible and open to change as long as the key principles of balance and equality were respected. We worked closely with partners in the Convention to achieve this balance.
