Abstract
While the influence of smaller or newer member states on European Union treaty reform has not always received sufficient attention, the impact of France and Germany, acting either separately or in concert, is the subject of substantial analysis in the literature. The largest and arguably most influential original members of the European Communities are therefore an obvious case to assess the influence of the member states during EU negotiations to revise the founding treaties.
