Barroso: No Further Delays on Lisbon TreatyBackPia Ahrenkilde Hansen, EC spokesperson gives José Manuel Barroso's statement on the ruling of the Czech Constitutional Court on the Lisbon Treaty. The Czech Republic's Constitutional Court Tuesday ruled that the European Union's Lisbon Treaty does not clash with the Czech constitution, allowing the pact's ratification which now only needs to be signed by Czech president Vaclav Klaus, a treaty opponent. At their summit in Brussels Thursday, leaders of EU member states agreed to an opt-out from a part of the Lisbon Treaty, the Charter of Fundamental Rights, which Vaclav Klaus views as a threat to Czech citizens' property rights. The highest Czech court, based in Brno, ruled last year that key elements of the treaty were in accordance with the constitution. Tuesday's ruling was in response to a second challenge to the treaty.
