"Quite apart from important international issues, the next European Council is set to include the so-called 'innovation policy', the proposed 'common energy policy', and 'illegal immigration', issues for which working documents have yet to be tabled. We shall return to these issues in due course.
Apparently, two debates have been left off the agenda: one on our ‘functional’ or ‘assimilation-related’ ‘absorption capacities', that is to say the enlargement to include Croatia and Turkey, and the other on the so-called institutional reform (the composition of the Commission and Parliament, and the Council’s decision-making process). This debate concerns setting the rules of the game, which are always imposed by, and in the interests of, the major EU powers.
Another debate absent from the agenda concerns the attempts to (re)impose the so-called ‘European Constitution', which has already been rejected. Hitherto, and despite numerous attempts to do so, there is still disagreement over what can now be done to resurrect the, revamped or otherwise, ‘European Constitution’. Yet its proponents reflect, prepare the ground and set up think tanks while they wait for the French elections and the German Presidency, with the latter expected to present the (pseudo) ‘way forward’.
The more they dither, the less the workers and the people are aware of the real significance and primary objectives of the EU."@en1
