Every year, the European Chamber will hold one or two seminar to discuss topical European issues. This year there is perhaps no more important issue for the EU than the debate surrounding the EU Constitution. This document has inspired strong feelings and much discussion across Europe. We feel that now, in the aftermath of the French and Dutch Referenda, it is important for us as EU citizens and representatives abroad to gain an insight into issue so that we too can take part in the debate.
The presentation will aim to provide us with a simple overview of the document and an objective and practical discussion of its impact for us. It will also aim to inspire discussion of the questions most important to us, for instance:
- What will the Constitution change exactly?
- What is its purpose and why is it important?
- How will it affect the citizens of the EU Member States?
- What are the terms of the debate on the Constitution?
The European Chamber is pleased to welcome Mr Cyril SAYAG, First Secretary of the European Commission's Trade and Economics section in the European Delegation, Beijing (http://www.delchn.cec.eu.int), to speak on this topic.
