The president of France's ruling UMP party, Nicolas Sarkozy, suggested on 12 January 2006 a means to resolve the impasse over the Constitutional Treaty for Europe, suggesting the Treaty could be slimmed down to its functional core and approved by the French Parliament. The original Treaty was rejected by the French populace in a referendum on 29 May 2005.
