The Czech constitutional court has cleared the Lisbon Treaty, as my colleague in Warsaw reports here.
Klaus – the last man standing between David Cameron and Lisbon’s ratification – could now sign the treaty within a month. Now it’s just a waiting game for Cameron to drop his promised referendum on Lisbon, a pledge which was always going to be difficult to maintain.
Jean Eaglesham writes here that: “David Cameron is poised to rule out a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty….an announcement would come ‘very soon’.”
