“Czech Court Lifts Barrier to EU Lisbon Treaty”
by RReuters - Jana Mlcochova   
November 3rd, 2009

BRNO, Czech Republic - The Czech Constitutional Court threw out a complaint against the EU's Lisbon Treaty on Tuesday, removing one of the final obstacles to its ratification.

The ruling allows euroskeptic President Vaclav Klaus to sign the treaty, which will give the EU its first long-term president and streamline decision-making in the bloc of nearly half a billion people.

The Czech Republic is the only EU member that has not yet ratified the pact, which needs the consent of all of 27 states to come into force.
