Berlin Declaration

On 25 March 2007, the Heads of States and Governments of the 27 EU countries met for a solemn meeting in Berlin to celebrate the 50 years birthday of the Treaty of Rome.

They adopted a “Berlin declaration” on the values of the European Union. More important, the then new German Chancellor Angela Merkel succeeded - through secret diplomacy- to reach agreement on restarting the constitutional process.

On 21-23 June 2007, Ms Merkel could conclude the German Presidency with the adoption of a very precise negotiating mandate for the revised constitution, the so-called Reform Treaty.

The Reform Treaty re-establishes the rejected constitution under a new name and with a different presentation. It contains very few deletions and additions.
