A Communication on the future of the European Union was adopted by the European Commission on 6 December 2001. It argues that the European Council in Laeken on 14-15 December 2001 should adopt a broad mandate for the forthcoming Convention on institutional reform. The key questions which the Convention should tackle are what should Member States do together in the future Unionand how should democratic legitimacy and effectiveness of the Union be improved ? The Commission's paper stresses the importance of the 'Community method' for European policy-making. This method, based on the tried and tested balance between the key European Institutions - Commission, Council and Parliament, will be indispensable for achieving better democracy and effectiveness in an enlarged Union. |
