Following on from the study on the European Council by Philippe de Schoutheete and Helen Wallace1, Jean-Louis Quermonne now turns to "the question of a European government". As the framework of the future constitutional treaty has just been made public by the Presidium of the European Convention, the issue could not be more topical. It will require the members of the Convention to become "inventors of simplicity", to use an expression I am fond of.
