Czech Constitutional Court signals early decision on Lisbon complaint

Staying with Lisbon, the Czech Constitution Court announced that it will hold a public hearing into the complaint against the treaty lodged by a group of senators. The hearing will take place on October 27. This means it is likely that a decision on the complaint could come the same day or at least soon afterwards. A court spokesman said that the public hearing will be held regardless of whether the senators make a further submission aimed at widening their existing complaint. Czech media reported on Tuesday that the mostly right-leaning senators will submit further material aimed at broadening their existing complaint by the end of this week.
