Merkel stands by EU constitution

Germany’s new Chancellor insisted she would not give up on Europe’s constitutional treaty on Wednesday. Touring EU capitals in her first full day in office, Merkel hoped to heal Europe’s ills by bringing a fresh approach to old divides. "Europe needs the constitution… [we] should not give up the constitutional treaty,” she told reporters in Brussels on Wednesday evening. “We may allow a pause for further consideration and second thoughts but we have made it very clear that we are willing to make our contribution to whatever is necessary to see the constitution come into force."
