Lisbon Treaty?

Germany's top court gives green light for Lisbon Treaty but delays ratification Europe Deutsche Welle 29.06.2009: "Germany's highest court ruled on Tuesday that the European Union's Lisbon reform treaty was compatible with German basic law but said that additional national legislation was needed before the Lisbon Treaty could be ratified."

This was a major hurdle that was just passed for the Lisbon Treaty invocation. Remaining is the referendum in Ireland in October and the signature by the Polish President Lech Kaczynski who will not sign the ratification until the Irish referendum is passed. The Czech President Vaclav Klaus will not ratify until the last moment. He might be hoping that David Cameron is going to block the treaty all together by bringing Great Britain out of EU.
