Strong calls across Europe for referendum on Constitution/Appel pour un référendum dans tous les pays en juin 2004

At the same time as the members of the Convention were celebrating the final version of the draft constitution, a public press conference was being held outside the European Parliament in order to promote the idea of giving people a right to vote on the new blueprint.

"It is a document for the people", said Michael Efler from the European Referendum Campaign. A huge majority of the Convention supported the idea of having a referendum in each country, he added.

Quelque 450 millions d'Européens issus de 25 pays seront-ils appelés à ratifier par référendum la Constitution européenne, le dimanche 13 juin 2004, jour des élections européennes ? C'est l'appel lancé par l'eurodéputé Alain Lamassoure, qui a reçu l'appui de 38 conventionnels sur 105 et de 48 membres suppléants. "Notre pari est que, dans tous les pays où le référendum existe, la ratification se fera par cette voie. On ne peut pas dire qu'on adopte une Constitution et garder le sujet pour les Parlements nationaux", explique M. Lamassoure.
