President of the European Parliament "It's Time for a Constitutional Treaty Settlement has Come and that Time is Now"

Brussels, 25. March 2004

Speaking today before attending this evening's meeting in Brussels where EU leaders will discuss the draft EU constitution, Pat Cox MEP President of the European Parliament, appealed to heads of Government to find the political will with the aim of completing the negotiations before the European elections, saying,

"The time for a constitutional treaty settlement has come, and that time is now."

"My own sense is that there is a change in mood and a willingness to compromise on the issues which blocked the last Brussels summit. We must capitalise on this."
