Did French, Dutch Deliver 'Killer Blow' to EU Constitution?
Expatica's Aaron Gray-Block noted in a June 2, 2005 analysis of the June 1, 2005 rejection of the European Union Constitution by the Dutch that:Denmark will proceed with its plebiscite planned for 27 September. Six other referendums are due to follow. However, despite the fact 10 nations have already approved of the constitution-- Latvia's Parliament backed it on June 2, 2005-- the treaty had to be ratified by all 25 member states. It means the French and Dutch no votes have effectively delivered a killer blow.
"Nevertheless," Mr. Gray-Block said, "European Parliament President Josep Borrell said earlier this week if only five countries reject the constitution, a period of negotiation must be entered into." See "Dutch 'no' vote sparks EU crisis" for more.
