EU: Governance

Question
What proposals they have for a new constitution or pattern of governance for the European Union.
Answer

My Lords, there is at present no consensus among EU partners on the way forward with regard to the constitutional treaty or any new treaty. These issues will be discussed at the European Council in June. It is too early to speculate on the outcome of those discussions. The Government’s approach to the discussions wasset out in a Written Ministerial Statement on 5 December 2006.
