The draft European constitution has been proposed
as the new rulebook for the European Union. If adopted, it will replace
the existing European treaties and consolidate them into a single document.
It was drafted by the European constitutional convention, set up by the
Laeken summit in December 2001 and chaired by Valéry Giscard D'Estaing.
Aim of the campaign
The aim of the campaign is to show that the draft European
constitution will make the European Union more democratic and more effective.
It is a step in the direction of a federal Europe and the United Kingdom
should ratify it.
This briefing outlines the origins and content of the
draft European constitution, and why it will improve the European Union.
The text in italics is intended to help you with public statements, for
