Report of the first day of a plenary meeting of the Convention on the Future of Europe, held on 20-21 January 2002 in Brussels. Speakers in the debate overwhelmingly opposed the creation of the post of president of the European Council. Representatives from many smaller Member States warned it could reduce the Commission's powers and strengthen the hand of the most populous States.
