Apparently 'NO' is understood by the EU to mean "try seducing me again
later" (see the ending of this news story)....
EU Treaty Is Dead After Irish 'No': Czech Senate Chief
FOCUS News Agency, Bulgaria,
19 June, 2008.
London. The European Union's Lisbon Treaty is dead after Irish voters
rejected it in a referendum last week, the head of the Czech senate
told the BBC on Thursday, AFP re****ts.
Speaking as EU leaders gathered for a crisis summit in Brussels,
Premysl Subotka said the Irish rejection had the same effect as French
and Dutch "no" 2005 votes on the EU draft constitution, which the
Lisbon Treaty replaced.
"It is the same situation now as after the 'no' from France and
Netherlands. If somebody from the 27 countries says 'no', it is a
problem for the future of this treaty," he told BBC radio.
"My view is that this treaty is dead, because the whole EU needs 27
'yes' votes and now we have one 'no'."
Czech President Vaclav Klaus is a well-known eurosceptic, and Prague's
parliamentary ratification of the treaty was suspended in April after
the Senate demanded a ruling from the country's constitutional court.
EU leaders are meeting in Brussels to discuss what to do after the
Irish rejected the reform treaty, which aims to streamline the bloc's
decision-making process following its east- and southward expansion.
Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek warned Wednesday against putting
pressure on Prague to continue ratifying the treaty, saying: "Our
position is prudent."
Earlier Thursday Britain became the 19th EU country to ratify the
treaty, after Prime Minister Gordon Brown defied critics who called
for the process to be stopped after the Irish vote.
Europe Minister Jim Murphy denied the treaty had been killed.
"The treaty is only dead when a country decides it will not ratify the
treaty at all," he told the BBC. "The treaty can't come into effect in
any country until it has been ratified by all 27 countries.
"That is the legal position."
