No cherry-picking of EU constitution, say Europe's conservatives by Lucia Kubosova
ROME - The biggest pan-European political party has called for continued ratification of the EU constitution and strongly rejected cherry-picking from its proposals. But, despite this, several leading centre-right politicians have hinted that at least slight changes may be necessary to revive the treaty. The European People's Party on Friday (31 March) agreed a manifesto following its party congress in Rome, which argues that the bloc's current "political problems and institutional weaknesses...will persist and grow" unless the constitution is brought into force.
"Therefore the EPP proposes that the process leading to the ratification of a European Constitutional Treaty should be continued after the period of reflection," states the document.
