Former Polish Parliament Speaker suggests ratification delay

An Irish No looked much liklier yesterday as French Economy Minister Christine Lagarde said yesterday regarding harmonising Corporate Taxes across the EU during their Presidency which starts in July "It has been going on for a long time but this is one issue that we are determined to push". Reaction in Ireland is reported here, "Ireland in tailspin over EU Tax pledge".
