Statewatch Analysis no 5 (pdf) by Professor Steve Peers, University of Essex.

- it lists all of the differences between the Reform Treaty and the Constitutional Treaty, and concludes that it is not true, as the House of Commons European Scrutiny Committee claims, that the Reform Treaty is "substantially equivalent" to the Constitutional Treaty

- it lists all of the amendments to the draft Reform Treaty which were made by the October version of the text, compared to the July version

- it comments in detail on the most important changes in the October version of the text: the five-year delay to the Court of Justice's full jurisdiction over policing and criminal law, and the changes to the UK, Irish and Danish opt-outs over JHA matters

Our work is only possible with your support.
