Dutch deliver verdict on EU constitution
Dutch voters today delivered their verdict on the proposed EU constitution, and polls indicated they would deepen the crisis over the future of the European Union by following France’s lead and rejecting the document.
Pollsters predicted that nearly 60% would say ”no” – a result that, following France’s resounding ”no” Sunday, would leave Europe’s leaders without a clear back-up plan for the charter, which needs approval from all 25 EU nations to take effect in late 2006.
