The European Constitution: its origins, negotiation and meaning

In October 2004 the EU member states signed in Rome a new constitutional treaty to provide the future framework for the expanded European Union.

The treaty must now be ratified by each of the 25 member states to come into force - a process likely to take two or more years.

This essential guide to the treaty explains how it came to be negotiated and what it means for Europe. It has been written by three members of the small secretariat that worked on the drafting of the constitution.

As Javier Solana, the Secretary General of the Council of the EU and the High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy, writes in the foreword:

"This is the story of the Constitution...distilled and presented in a way which makes this book accessible to anyone with an interest in the subject".
