100% for the constitution, as the power of the European Parlament gets stronger than before...

I guess this is one of the reasons that the commision wants the directive adopted as quickly as possible...

Reminds me of when the danish government wanted the native population of Thule in Greenland relocated within 3 days after the americans asked if they could build an airbase there...

Their problem was that a new version of the danish constition, which gave citizens of Greenland the same rights as danes, would be effective a few days later...

Does it sound a bit familiar?

Actually I'm not really sure yet, I'll try to read the constitution one of these days.

Good idea my friend. Always a good idea to know a bit about what you are woting for or against. This is why vote is supposedly reversed to grown-up.
