Peoples' Congress
Giscard d`Estaing has proposed that the President of the EU and other leading figures should be appointed by a "Peoples' Congress" assembled from the national parliaments and the European Parliament.
It has been proposed that this Congress should also discuss the state of the union and prepare treaty changes under the leadership of the European Parliament President.
The proposal did not have the support of the Convention and is not a part of the Lisbon Treaty.
