| | European Union - A crisis of legitimacy |
| | The European Council at Brussels under the Irish presidency began in a climate of emergency and pressure to approve the constitutional treaty after the European elections and to constitute a new Commission capable of dealing with the accumulation of strategic tasks. | | | Immediately after the European elections Chirac and Schröder met at Aix-la-Chapelle for a new Franco-German summit to agree their position at the European Council of Brussels from June 17-18, which was to end the negotiations on the Constitutional Treaty. | | | The very high abstention rates at the European elections on June 13, 2004, especially in the new member states, accentuate a crisis of legitimacy just as a new constitutional Treaty proposes to transform the neoliberal project into law. |

| | But on the other hand, the European governments, united in the Council of Ministers or the EU summits (as well as the European Central Bank), take the liberty of making illicit decisions on these social topics, in the name of the priority of the (monetarist) criteria of the Maastricht Treaty and the Stability Pact. | | | As for Turkey, its laws, rights and policies at the level of political democracy are incompatible with those of EU member states. | | | Starting now, we must demand that at the very least any "new treaty" or "constitution" be submitted to a referendum organised simultaneously in all member and candidate states. |

| | Based on this principle, Liberal Lousewies Van der Laan argued that the European Union should suspend its diplomatic relations with the Vatican, and that the latter should also lose its U.N. status. | | | An example was the idea that "when religious communities assume powers that belong to the public sector, they operate de facto in opposition to the democratic rule of law in the EU." | | | "A resolution of the European Parliament has no immediate influence on legislation in the different states," the cardinal said Thursday. |
