Background

The Europe Reform Treaty is being drafted and is likely to be signed until the end of the current year.

The Treaty is not an automatic replacement for the EU Constitutional Treaty signed in Rome on 29 October 2004; it is a reduced document based on the previous one. The controversial aspects were removed while adding more dynamic with the necessary adjustments to cope with a European Union of 27 member States.
