	Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The rejection of the constitution in the referenda in France and the Netherlands, made the TCE's future and the implementation of its provisions highly uncertain, provoking a crisis of confidence in the project which has resulted, at least initially, in a degree of strategic paralysis.
		Eurosceptics (particularly in the United Kingdom) saw it as entrenching a European superstate, whilst socialists (particularly in France) alleged that it is a sort of neoliberal Washington consensus for Europe.
		Opponents to neoliberalism maintain their initial viewpoint, in favour of European integration, but against antisocial policies (it may be compared to the November 2005 Mar del Plata Summit of the Americas and to its opposition to the Free Trade Area of the Americas).

	Airstrip One: British foreign policy as if the national interest mattered
		The European Commission used the background of the Madrid bombings to strike a claim in the area of defence research and expenditure.
		The European Commission is using the issue of security to advance its own agenda of integration and threatens to reduce the efficiency of such research through co-ordinating the planned and unplanned initiatives.
		However, the European elite has geared up to promoting the European Constitution as the answer to all of the problems of European integration, caused by Enlargement and the current structural niceties of the Amsterdam treaty.

		The European Union welcomes, in particular, the commitment of the signatories of the declaration to make every effort to avoid violence or actions which might encourage violence, to show restraint, and to resolve differences peacefully and by legal means.
		The European Union firmly expects that the parties will honour the agreement and their commitments, so as to avoid a repetition of the deplorable situation which has come about in Addis Ababa in recent days, leading to the loss of human life.
		In this context, the European Union emphasises that the representatives of all parties should be able to act in an environment free of intimidation and threats.

	Eurosceptics unite, by Bernard Cassen
		Swedish trade unions are, surprisingly, backing the constitution, although it makes “an internal market where competition is free and undistorted” a key EU objective and rejects any harmonisation of social or fiscal rules.
		Signatories included the former president of the European Trade Union Confederation and the Belgian Socialist Confederation of Labour, close to the PS, George Debunne; the former deputy leader of the socialist group in the European parliament, Jean-Maurice Delhousse; several Ecolo MPs and senior members of Attac.
		Representatives of the left, centre and right are working hard to convince the electorate that the constitution does not open the way to further deregulation, that it protects the welfare system and public services, and will help the EU to pursue independent policies unhampered by the United States.

		The aim of the Treaty establishing a constitution for Europe is to meet the security demands of the EU member states, whilst respecting European values on human rights.
		Through the constitution, the EU is aiming to “develop a common policy on asylum”, and thereby limit agreements that involve only a few countries.
		However, the constitution also states that “rights recognised by this Charter [on fundamental rights], for which provision is made in other parts of the constitution, shall be exercised under the conditions and within the limits defined by these relevant parts” (article II-112).

	European academics rewrite draft constitution \| European Union Future EU
		The intention of this ad-hoc group is to improve the draft constitution by suggesting "embellishments" or "positive sum amendments" to the draft, as opposed to big structural changes.

		To give leverage to the proposal, they are seeking additional "signatories" to join the current group comprising individuals from at least nine European countries, as well as the US.
