Cóir: Battle to kill Lisbon Treaty is far from over as Czechs still to pass it

THE battle to “kill” the Lisbon Treaty is not over, No campaign group Cóir has claimed.

Cóir spokesman Richard Greene pointed to the fact that the Eurosceptic Czech president Vaclav Klaus has yet to sign the treaty, despite the fact his national parliament has approved it. Mr Greene urged Mr Klaus to continue holding out.

“The battle to kill this dead treaty is not over,” he said. “Mr Klaus, the Czech president, has not signed the treaty into Czech law and we urge him to recognise the fact that the Irish people rejected this very, very bad treaty in the last referendum.”
