Mettre une annonceAlors que l'encre du nouveau traité européen est à peine sèche, suite à la cérémonie de signature la semaine dernière par les chefs d'Etat et de gouvernement à Lisbonne, la Hongrie devrait servir d'exemple pour une ratification rapide, nécessaire à la mise en oeuvre des réformes institutionnelles d'ici janvier 2009.
An overwhelming majority of 325 members of parliament voted in favour of the new EU Treaty, with only five opposed and 14 abstentions on Monday (17 December).
"Hungary is behind this new Treaty, which retains the virtues of the Constitution and is also in the interest of Hungary," Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany said.
The Lisbon Treaty provides for an institutional overhaul after the draft EU Constitution was rejected in referenda in France and the Netherlands in 2005. The reforms should streamline decision-making, slim down the institutions and create the new posts of a permanent EU president and a foreign representative.
So far, Ireland is the only country expected to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, but pressure in the UK is mounting, with the Conservative opposition calling for a public vote.
