EC attacks treaty claims

ANTI-TREATY campaigners are distorting the truth and telling lies, claims vice-president of the European Commission Margot Wallstrom.

The outspoken head of communications for the commission has denied she told the Government that the commission would “tone down or delay” anything that might persuade voters to reject the Lisbon treaty.

Writing in her blog, she has also accused campaign group Libertas of misquoting her from a report in the Irish Examiner.
