"In 2008, the Irish Government decided to hold a referendum on ratification of the Treaty of Lisbon. Given the negative result of the referendum held in June 2008, however, Ireland was unable to ratify the Treaty of Lisbon. Given the requirement of unanimity for the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, the Irish Government was expected to find a solution to the situation that was brought about by the decision to hold a referendum and its subsequent rejection. At a session of the European Council on 19 June 2009, Heads of State or Government agreed to take a decision in order to provide the Irish people with the necessary legal guarantees and thus to respond to their concerns in relation to the right to life, family and education, taxation, and security and defence. They agreed that they would, at the time of the conclusion of the next accession treaty and in accordance with their respective constitutional requirements, set out the provisions of the decision in a protocol to be attached to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union as clarifications of the provisions of the Treaty of Lisbon with respect to the Irish concerns. Although the content of the draft protocol refers only to the situation of Ireland, I believe it would be appropriate to review the proposed draft amendments to the Treaties. It is equally important to respect the previous political understandings between the governments."@en1
