European Parliament
David Martin (PSE ),
in writing
I welcome this report which clarifies, after the French 'no' to the Constitution, where we are in terms of future constitutional reforms of the EU.
The rapporteurs are right to note that there are a number of options available to the Union, ranging from abandoning the constitutional project altogether, continuing to try to ratify the present text unamended, seeking to clarify or add to the present text, restructuring or modifying the text or embarking upon a complete rewrite.
No conclusions should be reached on these options until the conclusion of the period of reflection, which should be in the second half of 2007.
