| Spain was the first country to vote in favour of the EU Constitution. |
The proposed EU constitution aims to simplify the governing structure of the EU by giving fewer veto powers to individual countries.
It will also strengthen moves towards a common foreign and defence policy.
Critics say it will lead inevitably to a European super-state.
The Constitution must be ratified by all member states before taking effect.
Britain plans to hold a referendum, probably in 2006, after most other member states.
