EU: Constitutional Treaty

Question
What is their response to the ratification of the draft constitutional treaty by 18 member states of the European Union?
Answer

My Lords, following the no votes in France and the Netherlands there is no consensus among EU member states on the future of the constitutional treaty. The way forward will be discussed at the European Council in June. My right honourable friend the Minister for Europe set out the Government’s approach to these discussions in his Written Ministerial Statement on 5 December.
