Regeringen välkomnar Tjeckiens godkännande av Lissabonfördraget, på engelska
Statement by Cecilia Malmström, Minister for European Affairs, regarding the Czech Senate's vote on the Lisbon Treaty
- The Swedish government welcomes today's decision by the Senate of the Czech Republic to approve the Lisbon Treaty. The Treaty will provide the European Union with a modern set of rules and greater possibilities to take up important challenges, such as cross-border crime. The Lisbon Treaty reinforces the EU's decision-making capacity while making the Union more open and democratic.
- The ratification process will now continue. The Swedish government hopes that the Lisbon Treaty will also be approved in a referendum in Ireland later this year, in order to come into force as soon as possible.
