Lisbon Treaty review could be ready in September

The chairman of the Czech Constitutional Court Pavel Rychetský told Czech TV on Thursday that the review of the Lisbon Treaty could be ready in September. The Czech Republic is one of seven countries that have not yet ratified the reform treaty; the Czech Senate referred the document to the Constitutional Court to decide whether it is in line in the Czech law. Mr Rychetský said the court has been examining the treaty for some six weeks and has already received opinions on the matter from the government, the parliament’s lower house as well as the president.
