The
Reform Treaty (also referred to as; "future institutional settlement"
or "new legal basis", or "simplified treaty",
among others) is a proposed replacement for the Treaty establishing
a Constitution for Europe. The current draft is entitled the "Draft
Treaty Amending the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty Establishing
the European Community". While the Constitution attempted
to replace all earlier EU treaties, the Reform Treaty amends the
Treaty on the European Union (Maastricht) and the Treaty Establishing
the European Community (Rome). |
