I have not read all of the treaty, admits McCreevy

IRELAND’S EU commissioner Charlie McCreevy has admitted he has not read all of the Lisbon treaty, and said the majority of the population would not be able to understand the complex document.

Mr McCreevy, who is in charge of the union’s internal markets, said he has not read the treaty, which will be put to a public vote in a referendum to be held here on June 12.

“I have a document that puts together what it would look like and I have read most of that,” he said in an interview with the EU Observer website.
