Convention on the Future of Europe
The Convention on the Future of the European Union,[1] also known as the European Convention, was a body created by the European Council in December 2001 as a result of the Laeken Declaration.

Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, President of the European Convention
It was inspired by the Philadelphia Convention that led to the creation of the United States federal Constitution. The goal was to create a constitution for the European Union for the Council to finalise and adopt.
The Convention finished its work in July 2003 with their Draft Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe.
