Czech President Klaus to Go ahead with Lisbon Treaty Ratification on November 3rd
Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus is satisfied with the opt-out that his country received at EU Council meeting in Brussels Thursday night, and is going to sign the Lisbon Treaty into ratification.
This has been announced by Klaus himself in a communique issued Friday, as cited by BGNES.
“I believe that the result that we have achieved is the best possible, and I am not going to set additional conditions for the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty,” the Czech President states.
Because of his opposition to the Lisbon Treaty, the Czech Republic still remains the only EU member state which has not ratified it.
Czech PM Jan Fischer has stated in Brussels he hoped President Klaus was going to sign the Lisbon Treaty ratification act before he left for a state visit to the USA on November 3, 2009.
Earlier French President Nicolas Sarkozy said the Lisbon Treaty would enter into force on December 1, 2009.
