Extract

Each time this writer has prepared a three-yearly update on the external relations of the Union, the Treaty framework has changed and the sense that Europe's leaders are being distracted from vital problems grows. The Constitution for Europe now on offer, the result of a mandate from the European Council at Laeken to effect a simplification of the treaties with a view to making them better understood without changing their meaning, would introduce new legal uncertainties into the framework for the conduct of external relations. Its entry into force, however, now appears unlikely.
