Re: More on the not-Constitutional Treaty (none / 1)

They should agree that the 2009 EP will write the treaty. That way the 2009 EP elections would actually focus on the EU instead of national politics, for a change.

Or would be used by domestic parties to turn EU politics a national politics issue.

Waiting for the next parliament to write the treaty would postpone it too much.

I think it would make sense to organise the referendum and the EP elections on the same day in 2009. That would leave time for the debate.
