Nice Europe - 5th February 2003, 21.14

This may be a short period in the EU's history but the Treaty of Nice came into effect on the 1st February 2003. Most of the changes in voting and power will not take effect until 2004. They will probably be superseded in short order by the new Constitution being formulated in the Convention. A short summary of the effects can be found here at Euractiv.
