EU admits constitution is on ice
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso has admitted that the EU is unlikely to have a constitution for at least two or three years. He said that the text was unlikely to be ratified in the near future, after French and Dutch voters rejected it. However, Mr Barroso said this should not mean paralysis in Europe.
He said it was important to convince citizens of the relevance of the EU by creating jobs, improving security and protecting the environment. Like that's going to happen. |
