A proposed constitutional treaty that would have helped remove the existing institutional barriers to the bloc's further expansion was put on ice last year after Dutch and French voters rejected it in separate referendums.
Predloženi ustavni sporazum koji je mogao da pomogne da se uklone postojeće institucionalne prepreke daljem širenju bloka, odložen je prošle godine nakon što su ga holandski i francuski birači odbacili na odvojenim referendumima.
