Act4europe toolkit on the ratification of the Constitutional Treaty

Act4europe is continuing to follow the path of the Constitutional Treaty as it proceeds through the phase of ratification and published a new NGO toolkit on the ratification process. This toolkit, as our other activities, aims at enabling and fostering a cross-sectoral and trans-national debate on the Constitutional Treaty amongst citizens’ organisations and at promoting the involvement of NGOs in European debates. It is giving a sketch of the state of play and main challenges in the ratification process both in Brussels, with the European Institutions, and in each of the Member States. It outlines the processes set to take place in each, whether referenda are scheduled and whether they are consultative or binding. Beyond this state of play, the toolkit examines more specifically the role of Civil Society organizations in the ratification process and provides sectoral assessment contributed by the members of the Civil Society Contact Group.

We hope this toolkit is a useful contribution for organisations and individuals for playing an effective role in the national decision-making process.

The toolkit is available in English only for the moment. A French version should be available soon.
