"The ‘yes’ vote in Ireland is good news for Europe and for me personally, as a Portuguese citizen and a committed pro-European. It represents a victory for common sense and reason against demagogy and manipulation. The Irish people have clearly stated that they believe in the European project. With the ‘yes’ vote, the main obstacle to the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon has been overcome.
President Klaus now has no excuse and has to respect democracy and the parliament which elected him, and which has already approved the Treaty of Lisbon. The Treaty of Lisbon marks the beginning of a new era. The European Union will make decisions more efficiently and will be more effective in its external relations. It will be more democratic and more transparent, closer to the public and less dependent on governments. With the new Treaty, the European Union will be better equipped to fight climate change and to meet the challenges of globalisation."@en1
