That having been said, the Constitutional Treaty has particular shortcomings in the area of parliamentary accountability (failure to extend current Community procedures to CFSP within the treaty) and the failure to remedy the issue of transparent budgeting (joint costs for ESDP-military operations remain funded through subsidiary budgets or start-up funding derived from the Member States’ budgets rather than the Community’s).Your rapporteur regrets these omissions and can only hope that they will be remedied at the nearest opportunity.
