These last few days I have got a flu so I stayed at home. Thanks to this contingency I had enough time to realise a project I had been thinking about for the last few months, creating a table through which putting together the newest consolidated version of the Treaty on European Union, the Reform treaty and the probable output you will obtain if you merge them.

The idea of such a kind of file was the result of the difficulties I found in my tentative analyses of the text (see this category in the ‘readings’ section or the mirror one on the ‘myeurope’ section).

At last I managed it and you can see the file in html format here.

If you are interested, this is the main directory with the same file in different formats.

Lastly I want to report a curious fact. As the source version for the consolidated Treaty on European Union I used a document edited by the Commission in 2002. The document was particularly interesting because the articles amended by the Nice Treaty (2001) were all tagged. However when I was near the end of my editorial effort I discovered that that consolidated version wasn’t the last one because there was also a version edited in 2006 after the Treaty of Athens had been signed few years before. So I had to check all the work already done… Fortunately the most recent version was just the same of older one, except for three sub-paragraphs of three articles. Anyway I am happy that this accident happened, because now who will see my table will be able to understand easily what articles have been amended both by the Nice Treaty and the Athens Treaty.
