Title:
Czech EU Presidency Calls for Free Debate: "Lisbon treaty can't be a mantra"

Description:
► "The Lisbon Treaty cannot be a mantra!" - Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek European Parliament, Strasbourg, 14 January 2009 (with EN subtitles; NOTE: translations are based on live interpretations) As the Czech Republic takes over the EU Presdiency from France, the Czech Prime Minister makes his first presentation to the European Parliament as President of the EU Council. Since the Czech Republic has not yet ratified the Lisbon treaty, it has been under continuous pressure to ratify before the second Irish referendum, planned for late 2009. Meanwhile, Czech President Vaclav Klaus has been under tremendous pressure for his stance over the Lisbon treaty, his support for the Irish No and his advocation for a free debate across the EU. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMZbs6zu5PU for Nigel Farage's intervention in the European Parliament on 18.12.2008 concerning the attacks on President Vaclav Klaus, when French President Nicolas Sarkozy, then holding the EU Presidency, defended these attacks. The debate also included the financial crisis, climate change, the Russian Ukrainian dispute leading to the energy crisis, among others. This clip concerns the Lisbon treaty and related matter.
