Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs written question – answered at on 9 October 2006.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if she will make a statement on the progress of the European Constitution.
There is no current consensus on the way forward for the European Constitutional Treaty. Since the French and Dutch "No" votes last year, the Government have made it consistently clear that this is not a decision for one member state alone. It is for the 25 member states together to make decisions about the future of the Treaty.
The June European Council agreed that the forthcoming German Presidency will present a report to the European Council in June 2007 based on extensive consultations with member states, with decisions on how to continue the reform process to be taken by the end of 2008. There is no presumption as to the outcome or end-date of this process.
