    The European Constitution has a range of militarist provisions which could serve to strengthen the already powerful military forces within EU states, and the constitution includes a plan for a Europe-wide military force.
    The militarisation of Europe is being widely opposed by grassroots activists throughout Europe. On Saturday 5 March 2005, a conference in Manchester will examine and oppose the growing militarism and nuclearism in Europe.
        The conference, "A Europe for Peace" is expected to strengthen ties between various anti-militarist campaigns and help build a useful strategy for opposition to the militarisation of Europe.
        On 12 March the World Disarmament Campaign will also hold an event on this theme, entitled "Europe - A Force for Peace? Military Power versus Soft Power". See details on p2.
    For details and registration forms for the Manchester event, contact Greater Manchester CND: 0161 273 8283; email gmdcnd@gn.apc.org;     http://www.gmdcnd.org.uk/
