"The resolution adopted by the European Parliament on the results of the Brussels Council and on the deadlock (definitive or temporary) regarding the European Constitution once again brings into question the working method of the Intergovernmental Conferences and praises the ‘effectiveness of the European Convention’. Nevertheless, it must be mentioned once again that the Convention proposed a supranational Constitution through internal agreement on the part of a hard core of federalists and that this cannot be called ‘effectiveness’ since the agreement epitomized neither the will of all of the Member States, nor, in all probability, that of the populations.
Let us not forget the fact that if the French Presidency preferred to let negotiations fail on the fallacious grounds that ‘no deal is better than a bad deal’, then it did so above all because it feared being faced with a negative referendum (despite the floods of propaganda and biased surveys, which claimed and still claim today, that the people are hoping and praying for a supranational Europe.
The European Parliament resolution is, however, right on one point: it is surprising that, a week after the Brussels Council, we have still not managed to establish exactly the aspects that the governments agreed upon and those that they disagreed upon."@en1
