Prodi keen to push EU reform ahead
Italian Premier Romano Prodi said on Wednesday that overcoming the impasse in efforts to agree a European Constitution could require some member nations to move ahead alone. Addressing the Portuguese parliament on the future of Europe, Prodi noted that two of the key developments in the EU's history - the euro and the Schengen agreement - had been implemented by certain members only.
European Commission President José Manuel Durao Barroso is planning an informal summit in Sintra, Portugal, later this month to talk about the future of the EU Constitution. Italy is expected to attend this meeting, along with the new French president, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Portuguese Premier Jose Socrates, who takes over the EU duty presidency from Merkel in July.
