Lisbon footnote demanded by Klaus to take months after Constitutional Court ruling!
A fresh obstacle to the Lisbon Treaty has been raised by Czech President Vaclav Klaus which could delay it long enough to allow David Cameron to carry out his promise of a British referendum.
The notoriously unpredictable Czech president astonished EU leaders by demanding extra guarantees on the Charter of Fundamental Rights - the controversial declaration being incorporated into European Union (EU) law by the treaty and from which Britain has an opt-out.
President Klaus, who regularly compares the EU to the Soviet Union, refused to clarify his demand for a “footnote” to the treaty on the Charter, but legal experts warned it could take months of negotiation with the other 26 member states.
