Meeting of Federal Council

Brussels, 28/11/2002 (Agence Europe) - The federal Council of the International European Movement chaired by José Maria Gil-Robles is to meet on 29 and 30 November in Copenhagen to take stock, among other things, of the European Convention. The Nothomb working group, composed of Messrs Gil Robles, Leinen, Dastoli, Barbi and Cucic and well as Ms Vayssade worked on this issue. A draft report and a proposal of resolution to be discussed in Copenhagen are quite removed from some suggestions made within the Convention, such as that to create a Congress of Peoples of Europe. They insist, however, on the role of the European Commission as the Union government and as the Union's representative outside the EU (while the European Council would fix the broad guidelines and frame some decisions, mainly on foreign and security policy).
