The European Constitution

In four Days will be signed the European Constitution – the EU rulebook, designed to harmonize judicial procedures, rather than to create new Euro-law.

The constitution outlines what EU can and cannot do; outlines the political objectives and values and certifies that the member states confer power to the EU, rather than the opposite. Furthermore it opens the way towards deeper EU integration, but can only be adopted if all of the member states accept it. The constitution commits the member nations towards a common foreign and defense policy. It creates an EU foreign minister- to oversee diplomacy and foreign aid, and a full time EU president. It incorporates the EU charter of fundamental rights and outlines the powers of member states to object, or overturn decisions of the Commission.

Its more direct impact is to align international law cooperation, and transfer between jurisdictions.
