From the Paper:

"At a summit of the EU heads of government (Amersterdam, June 1997), efforts were made to reform EU decision-making methods of the Maastricht Treaty and give the EU a "more human face". (Encyclopaedia Britannica Online) as it became evident that there was a growing gulf between the EU political elite and their constituents about the pace and direction of European integration. It was also recognized that enlargement of the EU would not be possible without far reaching institutional reform as it would be impossible to otherwise integrate countries in Central and Eastern Europe seeking or expected to seek EU membership."
