The aim of the IGC is to produce a treaty - for example the Maastricht Treaty or the Amsterdam Treaty. These are in fact not new pieces of legislation but amendments to the Treaty - the founding Treaty of Rome, signed in 1957. The most recent IGC resulted in the Nice Treaty. It kicked off at the Lisbon summit in February 2000, and ended in Nice in December. Another IGC is already planned for 2004 in order to iron out the issues left unresolved by Nice. | | See also:  13 Mar 01 | Euro-glossary 13 Mar 01 | Euro-glossary 20 Mar 01 | Euro-glossary 20 Mar 01 | Euro-glossary Internet links: The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites Top Euro-glossary stories now: Links to more Euro-glossary stories are at the foot of the page. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
