An alternative to the EU Constitution
The inter-group SOS Democracy in the European Parliament has put forward an alternative to the proposed EU Constitution. The first draft has 15 points and was presented as a minority opinion of the Convention.
After the referendums on the constitutional proposal in France and the Netherlands on 29 May and 1 June 2005, the group put forward a seven-point alternative. Jens-Peter Bonde presented a discussion paper outlining a concept under which all the existing Treaties would be recast into a cooperation agreement comprising only 47 articles. It is now published in the book "From EU Constitution to Lisbon Treaty".
The SOS democracy group send 8 amendments to the intergovernmental conference revising the EU Constitution in 2007.
