Federalists tell us the Constitution is needed to make things simpler & easier to understand!!!

The tortuous document, signed 29.10.04, after last minute changes, has been labelled 'CIG87/2/04 REV 2'. It is found on the EU's website as six PDF files, together around 1.5MB. (Technically the 'Official Journal of the EU' is the authority on official versions. There had been concern over which version was actually signed).

Our analysis of the main changes is now on-line. The best analysis is from the British Management Data Foundation, in paper form, which looks at the Constitution point by point. The reviews below may concern recent versions rather than the latest and are generally a good guide to the overall 'thrust' behind it. The Bonde version (below) uses a large file, but should be up-to-date and is well indexed.

We hope that the material referenced will be useful in sorting out the bureaucratic nightmare!
