Brussels, 24/03/2006 (Agence Europe) - During their separate dinner on Thursday evening, EU foreign ministers discussed the debate on the future of Europe with a view to preparing the Summit in June this year, which will take stock of the “period of reflection” after the French and Dutch no-votes to the Constitution. It was not a debate on enlargement specifically but the more general theme of the future of Europe, the Austrian foreign minister, Ursula Plassnik, said during the final press conference of the Summit (which explains why Commissioner Olli Rehn had not been invited and apparently not appreciated by the Commissioner, Ms Plassnik explained). “We had a good debate. The aim was to exchange ideas” in order to adopt the “choreography” for the June meeting for continuing the constitutional process, Ms Plassnik went on. According to diplomats, enlargement was well and truly the main subject of discussion on Thursday evening, during which highly divergent opinions were expressed: by those (especially France) who feel that, without a Constitution or without major institutional changes, the EU cannot contemplate further enlargement after accession by Bulgaria and Romania, and those who (especially the United Kingdom) feel on the other hand that the Constitution is not essential for future enlargements. Several ministers said on Thursday evening that they wished to have more time for this debate with a view to the European Council in June. The Austrian Presidency will therefore be convening a further extraordinary meeting of foreign ministers, probably during the second half of April.
