After all the amendments and oral interventions on public health, article III-174 (ex Article 152) has not been modified by the Presidium.

The new draft of Part III (policies), dated 8th July 2003, does not innovate since the last draft of Part III (policies) dated 27th June.

On Wednesday 9 July, the Plenary will meet from 15:00h onwards in the European Parliament. They will discuss the new draft of Part III (policies) and then the Presidium will decide if meeting again the same evening to do further changes to this Part III (policies).

On Thursday 10 July the Convention will meet in Plenary session for the last time, when a ceremonial signing off is planned.

Once the debate on Part III (policies) is finished, the whole Constitutional text will be ready to be put together and brought by Giscard d’Estaing to Rome, next 18 July.

The next step will then be the inter-governmental conference beginning mid-October. Member States will fine-tune the Constitutional text.
