Attachment: Draft Treaty on the European Union
Classification: CONFIDENTIAL

Honourable Heads of State and Government of Europe,

I hereby cordially invite you to the Amsterdam Summit on the Establishment of the European Union to begin on the 1st April 2002 to be held at the Royal Palace of Amsterdam .

As we enter a new year we all strive towards building a continent that is peaceful and prosperous. Following the Grand European Summit hosted in Oslo, an organisation, the European Union, has been identified as a possible instrument to promote peace, stability, and prosperity on our continent.

Secretary of State for European Affairs Atzo Nicolaï has already conducted exploratory talks with many of your governments, and there seems to be an overwhelming support for the European Union. We aim for the Amsterdam Summit to be a meeting where we can iron out the remaining points of discussion in regards to the Treaty on the European Union.

In closing, I would like to express my sincere hope that you will consider attending this important Summit. Your participation and leadership will be crucial in helping to shape the future of the European Union.

Should you desire to make any arrangements regarding your stay in the Netherlands, please reach out to the Ministry of General Affairs.

Yours Sincerely,

Jaap de Hoop Scheffer
Prime Minister

Despite the usual lateness of the British Government, Andrew Evans would RSVP to attend the Summit in Amsterdam and providing it was still going ahead would make sure to arrange for the necessary transport arrangements to arrive... naturally late. At this point, it would probably raise more concern if they had arrived on time. Despite this, he would only set off providing the event was still scheduled to take place with a standard complement of security officers from the Diplomatic Protection Group; all of which would be declared to the Dutch government. It was likely to be Andrews' last, large-scale engagement before his retirement and with the Conservative party and its contenders raced to gain support at home.
