Ireland referendum decision pending EU summit, premier says

Sahil Nagpal 28 November 2008

Ireland referendum decision pending EU summit, premier says Helsinki - The government of Ireland is not planning to make any decisions on a new referendum on the European Union reform treaty until a EU summit next month, Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen said in Helsinki late Thursday.

Cowen's remarks were made after talks with his Finnish counterpart Matti Vanhanen, Finnish news agency STT reported.

Voters in Ireland earlier this year rejected the Lisbon Treaty, which aimed to streamline decision-making in the 27-nation bloc. It cannot enter into force until all member states have ratified it.

Last week the Swedish parliament ratified the treaty. The Czech Republic is also yet to decide on it. (dpa)
