Valerie-Giscard d'estaing (ex-french prez btw 1974/1981) is responsible of this constitution. A text had been wrote and approved by the main european
countries but :
Some countries would like to have a direct reference to the christianism culture in Europe(Spain, portugal), but some other (France, germany, turky)
dont want to.
And :
The europe will soon pass from 15 countries to 25 countries, with the entrance in the common market of a plenty of eatern europe country (Romania,
bulgaria, yougoslavia and many other...) and they are not agree with the actual constitution project (they say it favorize the great countries
(France, Germany, Italy, Holland...) !
they also are agrre to include the culture heritage of the christianism in the constitution...
So, it's not for tomorrow !

Maybe in 2005...

Personnally, I dont think it's a good idea to let entry in the EEC the eastern europe ex-communist countries. These countries are not stable
politically, and also maybe be soon return to the communism.
Many people in estern europe have nostalgy of the communism :
Of course, they have the freedom of press and the store are full of western products : but they dont mind ! They have no work, no money, no social
security or anything else. These countries are like the "western farwest" : No law, no rules, everything directed by mafias...
That's why people there regret the "good old communism". At least they had something to eat, and no mafia's.
