Ahern to complete talks over EU Constitution

TAOISEACH Bertie Ahern will soon complete his round of discussions with European leaders as part of the Irish Presidency’s efforts to reach consensus on a new EU Constitution.

Bertie Ahern yesterday met Polish prime minister, Leszek Miller in Dublin and afterwards described the talks as “very useful and constructive”.

Poland, along with Germany, France and Spain were the four countries whose difficulties with the proposed treaty caused the Intergovernmental Conference (IGC) on the Constitution to end in failure last December.
