The European Convention

Mauro Taddeo

Abstract: The Convention was asked to draw up proposals on three subjects how to bring citizens closer to the European design and European Institutions, how to organise politics and the European political area in an enlarged Union, and how to develop the Union into a stabilising factor and a model in the new world order. Noting that the European Union was coming to a turning point in its existence, the European Council which met in Laeken, Belgium, on 14 and 15 December 2001 convened the European Convention on the Future of Europe. This paper attempts to assess some aspects.

Keywords: European Convention, Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe, Missions of the European Union, Principles which Europe must respect, Laeken declaration
