French and Dutch expect EU constitution

The majority of people in France and the Netherlands expect a European Union constitution, despite voting against it last year, a new study says. Every second person polled in the Netherlands and some 57 percent of French surveyed said they expected a common constitution for the future of EU governance, according to a poll published Friday by German census organization Emnid.The result from France was the most optimistic of the 13 member states polled, and the Dutch answer ranked third; a surprise, as the EU's constitutional draft was buried last year by just those countries' voters in referenda.
