 * The Treaty of Nice (2001) **

 The Treaty of Nice, has been signed on February 26th, 2001, entered into force on February 1st, 2003. It dealt mostly with reforming the institutions so that the Union could function efficiently after its enlargement to 25 Member States. This treaty, the former Treaty of the EU (TEU) and the Treaty establishing the European Community (or so-called Treaty of Rome) have been merged into one consolidated version.  The Intergovernmental Conference which resulted in the Treaty of Nice had the very clear mandate of preparing the European Union for enlargement by revising the Treaties in four key areas: · Size and composition of the Commission; · Weighting of votes in the Council; · Extension of qualified-majority voting; · Enhanced cooperation.
