Liberals and Democrats welcome Polish ratification of Lisbon Treaty
April 2, 2008 10:00 AM
Welcoming the decision of the Sejm today to ratify the Treaty of Lisbon, Andrew Duff (LibDem, UK), ALDE spokeperson for constitutionnal affairs, said:
"Poland has done well to overcome its internal doubts and divisions in order to ratify the Treaty. This is a turning point in Poland's relations with the European Union. Logic and common sense have prevailed over prejudice and distortions. The Polish parliament has decided to reflect the pro-European majority of public opinion, and to put its weight behind the common effort to build a strong Europe. Other countries should now follow the Polish example."
Bronislaw GEREMEK (Partia Demokratyczna, Poland) added:
"Fears concerning the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty have been dispelled by Poland today. We should rejoice that Poland, which unequivocally connects its future expectations with the European Union, has taken such a decision."
