Wallstrom: Door closed on Lisbon

EU MEMBER states will not agree to renegotiate the Lisbon treaty to ease Irish concerns over the document, the vice-president of the European Commission has said.

Appearing before an Oireachtas committee on Lisbon, Margot Wallstrom said her personal impression was member states did not want to reopen negotiations on the treaty.

“My impression is that that door is closed,” she said in response to questions from TDs.
