Sunday , 24 June 2007

The EU Summit which was held under the German term-Presidency has ended after a marathon round of talks and the EU leaders has finally agreed the outline of a new treaty, letting the formal intergovernmental negotiations to start on 23 July. The failed European Constitution, as expected, became the main agenda topic of the EU Summit. Following the two-day discussions, the EU leaders announced the death of the planned single text called “Constitution” and their agreement on a new Treaty amending the existing treaties, called the “Reform Treaty”."
