(詳細はEuropean Union (EU) text that was signed on 25 March 2007 in Berlin (Germany), celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome which founded the European Economic Community, the predecessor to the modern EU. The Declaration was the brainchild of the German Presidency of the Council of the European Union in the first half of 2007. Designed to provide renewed impetus to the process of EU reform after the ratification of the European Constitution had failed, the Declaration aimed for a "renewed common basis" in time for the 2009 European Parliament elections. The German presidency followed up on the issue by brokering a consensus for what later became known as the Treaty of Lisbon. ==Signatories== Presented in the name of “We, the citizens of the European Union”, it was signed by the Presidents of the three major political institutions; * Hans-Gert Pöttering as President of the European Parliament. * Angela Merkel as President of the Council of the European Union (and the European Council). * José Manuel Barroso as President of the European Commission. It was originally intended that the leaders of all the member states of the European Union would sign it, though getting a document agreeable to all members proved a challenge, thus it was left to the three institutional heads – though this was met with some criticism. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Berlin Declaration (2007)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
