BRUSSELS - The European Union welcomed the publication of Iraq’s draft constitution on Sunday and urged all Iraqis to participate in an October referendum on the text. In a statement, the EU said it “congratulates the Iraqi people on reaching this important milestone in the political process.” The statement was released by the British government which currently holds the EU’s rotating presidency.

“The European Union encourages all Iraqis to play a part in the next stage of the political process by voting on the draft constitution in the October referendum,” it added. “Broad public support for the constitution will help ensure a stable future for Iraq.”

The EU offered help preparing the constitutional vote and national elections scheduled for December. “Representatives from across Iraq’s diverse community have now produced a constitution which we hope will set the foundations for a democratic Iraq,” the statement said.
