November 3rd, 2009

Brussels - The European Union is to call an extraordinary summit in the coming days to discuss who should be the bloc's first-ever president, the EU's Swedish presidency said Tuesday after the Czech president signed the reforming Lisbon Treaty. "To finalize the treaty preparations, I will now begin name consultations. As soon as possible, I will also call for an EU summit," Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt said in a statement. Speaking from Washington, where he was attending an EU-US summit, Reinfeldt said Czech President Vaclav Klaus' signature "ends a far too long period of institutional focus within the EU." "I am very pleased that President Klaus today signed the Lisbon Treaty," Reinfeldt said.
