Article abstract: This CEPS Policy Brief assesses the potential impact of the draft Constitutional Treaty of the Convention on the Future of Europe on the way the EU operates in international climate negotiations. Although Treaty revisions in the EU are ultimately decided by the EU member states, the Convention's draft can be seen as an important blueprint that forms the starting point of the negotiations between the member states due to start in October 2003. Among the relevant issues that the authors identify are:
The paper concludes that the Convention's draft Constitution offers some interesting proposals that could lead to more integration of the broader range of external policies into the EU's position for climate negotiations. Furthermore, there might be improvements related to the consistency of the EU's position. |
