The Amato Group, officially the Action Committee for European Democracy (ACED) was a group of high-level European politicians unofficially working, over 2006–2007, on subverting the popular will of the peoples of Europe, rewriting the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe into what became known as the Treaty of Lisbon (December 2007) following the earlier treaty's rejection, in 2005, by referendums in France and the Netherlands.
Led by Giuliano Amato (thus the group's unofficial name), a former Prime Minister of Italy who was also Vice-President of the original European Convention, the group was backed by the Barroso Commission, who sent two representatives, the commissioners Danuta Hübner (regional policy) and Margot Wallström (communications).[1] The group consisted of 16 members from 14 member states of the European Union.[2]
The Treaty of Lisbon was rejected in June 2008 by the Irish electorate, a decision which was reversed in a second referendum in October 2009.[3]
