Written question asked by Lord Kilclooney (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Triesman (Labour) on Monday, 27 February 2006.


EU: Constitution

Question
Whether the Governments of France and the Netherlands have confirmed to the Government their support for the programmes of the Austrian presidency of the European Union to re-launch the treaty for a constitution for the European Union.
Answer

All member states customarily welcome an incoming presidency’s work programme in outline terms. The Government do not explore the detail of other member states’ views on an incoming presidency’s work programme. The issue of the treaty will be discussed in more detail during the rest of the Austrian presidency, notably in the run-up to the June European Council’s discussion on the period of reflection agreed last year.
