The Constitution brings together all the treaties and agreements on which the EU is based. It defines the powers of the EU and states where the EU can act and where the member states retain their right to veto.

The Constitution is divided into four main parts which cover: Powers of the EU, division of responsibilities, decision-making, qualified majority voting, the role of the EU president, the EU Foreign Minister, foreign and defence policy, reform of the European Commission, the European Parliament, fundamental rights, legal supremacy and leaving the EU.

The EU Constitution does not replace any constitutions of member states. It is available in Maltese on ue.eu.int/igcpdf/mt/04/cg00/cg00087.mto4.pdf and www.mic.org.mt/malta-eu/mlteu.htm.
