Lissabonfördraget konsoliderat och uppdaterat på engelska

Jag har försökt hålla mina bloggar och språk i sär, men det har betytt att jag inte har haft möjligheter att fylla på mina bloggar på svenska och finska, medan jag har benat ut Lissabonfördraget och kommenterat aktualiteter i EU-politiken i min engelska blogg:

Undantagsvis tänkte jag dock posta ett inlägg på engelska här:




Updated Lisbon Treaty in English


Yesterday evening I received a positive message from Peadar ó Broin, of the Institute of International and European Affairs (Dublin, Ireland): An updated consolidated English version of the Treaty of Lisbon has been posted on the web site of the Institute:

http://www.iiea.com

A Gaelic version will be posted, soon. That would bring the number of readable language versions to eight out of 23 official EU languages.

In addition, Peadar ó Broin’s message was heartening personally, too. I take the liberty to repeat it here:

“Dear Ralf,
Congratulations on your blog, a much needed information resource! Just to let you know that I have placed an updated edition of the Consolidated Treaties as amended by the Treaty of Lisbon on the website of the Institute of International and European Affairs ( www.iiea.com ). This is the English language edition; an edition in Irish Gaelic will be placed on the website shortly.
The Protocols, Charter and Declarations will also be available on the website in English, hopefully by tomorrow.
Good luck with your research and kind regards,
Peadar ó BROIN”

I think that the citizens of the European Union are entitled to readable versions of the Reform Treaty, each in his or her language.
For the convenience of those readers who daily arrive at my blog, while looking for a consolidated version of the Treaty of Lisbon, I am going to present a summary of my findings so far:

Ratificeringen av Lissabonfördraget

Ungern var först ute med att ratificera Lissabonfördraget. Frankrike kommer att finnas i tätklungan bland EU-länderna, eftersom tidtabellen är följande:

Nationalförsamlingen behandlar reformfördraget i dag, senaten i slutet av januari och den 7 februari samlas de båda kamrarna för att justera grundlagen så att den omfattar Europeiska unionens ändrade fördrag.
