New EU treaty to be communications 'prority' for Brussels

EUOBSERVER/BRUSSELS-The European Commission is planning on making the promotion of a new treaty one of its main tasks in the coming months, after the previous more grandly name EU constitution was rejected in two founding member states.EU communications commissioner Margot Wallstrom on Tuesday (10 July) said she wants to discuss the final treaty with
citizens.Communicating will be "one of the main political priorities", said the commissioner who is planning on highlighting the fight against climate change and energy solidarity as reasons why citizens should like the new document.The new treaty-essentially a repackaging of most of the draft EU constitution-is set to be finalised by the end of the year with one year for ratification, and is to come into force by mid 2009."We need them on board, we cannot do without them in 2007.This year is not enough to have a project for the political elite, citizens have to be there," she told EUobserver.According to officials, there is already a major discussion in the commission about whether an entirely new legal platform should be created for communications.
