France has voted No
French President Jacques Chirac has conceded that voters have rejected the EU constitution in Sunday's referendum.
Exit polls published just after voting ended give the "No" side a resounding victory at 55%. Mr Chirac, who had campaigned for a "Yes", said he accepted voters' "sovereign decision" - but said France would honour its European commitments.
The vote could deal a fatal blow to the constitution, which needed to be ratified by all 25 members states. So far nine countries have done so. French Foreign Minister Michel Barnier said the vote was a "real disappointment".
The referendum timetable:
Spain: 20 February
France: 29 May
The Netherlands: 1 June
Luxembourg: 10 July
Denmark: 27 September
Ireland: Late 2005
Portugal: Late 2005
UK: April to June 2006
Czech Republic: June 2006?
Poland: No date set
