The summit has two purposes: to finalize the text of a new EU Constitution, and to appoint the next President of the Commission. These negotiations will be much harder in view of the spectacular repudiation of a number of key governments at the ballot box, together with the potent rise of protest and Euroskeptic parties in several member states.
这次峰会有双重目标：最终确定新的欧盟宪法，和任命下一任委员会主席。考虑到几个重要政府对投票抱有顽固的批评立场，以及若干成员国内部抗议和欧洲怀疑主义党派的势力陡增，将要进行的谈判面临着巨大的困难。
