"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I, too, want to start by thanking the Slovenian Presidency and the team led by the Slovenian Prime Minister, Mr Janša, for the high-quality and thorough work carried out both during the last six months and at last week’s Council summit. The Council managed to cope with the difficult situation following the Irish referendum and to come up with a suitable and sensitive plan. Ireland has been given time to evaluate the situation during the summer and to suggest a common way forward. Those countries that have not yet begun ratification have been urged to do so, to continue the ratification process. The Czech Republic, too, has an obligation to complete the ratification process. The Czech senators, who by sending the Lisbon Treaty to the Constitutional Court in Prague have blocked the ratification process, provided the Czech Government with an alibi.
The invitation to Slovakia to join the euro zone is also important, both for the euro zone and for the Member States of Central and Eastern Europe. This invitation shows appreciation for the work done by the Slovak Government and for the results of the Slovak economy, and offers support and encouragement to the pro-European and pro-reform forces in countries such as Poland, Hungary or the Czech Republic, so that these countries, too, are able to adopt the euro as soon as they meet the necessary conditions and prerequisites."@en1
