Statement by A.Vondra on the approval of the Lisbon Treaty by the Czech Senate
Statement by Deputy Prime Minister Alexandr Vondra on the positive outcome of the vote of the Czech Senate on the approval of the Lisbon Treaty.
"I appreciate the outcome of today’s vote whereby the Senate expressed its approval of the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty. By today’s vote the Parliament of the Czech Republic clearly indicated that the Czech Republic wishes to continue to play a central role in the European integration process within the EU, which it decided to endorse after November 1989. At this point nothing impedes the formal conclusion of the ratification process of the Lisbon Treaty in the Czech Republic, which is represented by the President’s signature."
