"In view of the negative result of the referendum held on 12 June 2008, Ireland was not in a position to ratify the Treaty of Lisbon. The European Council of June 2009 highlighted the importance of adopting the Treaty, since it provides a better framework for EU action in a large number of areas, so that the necessary decisions can be taken to tackle swiftly and effectively the wide range of challenges imposed by the deepest global recession since the Second World War. Given the unanimity requirement for the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, agreement was reached on legal guarantees responding to the concerns of the Irish people, thus paving the way for the Irish to be consulted once again. Reflected in a legally binding decision (Annex 1), they guarantee that certain concerns of the Irish people, relating, for example, to taxation policy, the right to life, family and education, and military neutrality, will not be affected by the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon. It was agreed that, at the time of the conclusion of the next accession treaty, which took place in December 2011, the provisions of the decision would be set out in a protocol to be attached to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. I therefore support this draft protocol, which reflects the political agreement reached in 2009."@en1
