Diverging views on the Convention on the future of the EU surfaced at the meeting of the Constitutional Affairs Committee with Commissioner Barnier on 19 November. Giorgio Napolitano, the chairman of the Committee, voiced concern about the lack of a clear position from the Commission on the Convention just a few weeks before the summit - especially since certain governments may try to diminish the Commission's role.
