Saturday 26^th, Dublin, The Sunday Business Post’s poll revealed that 55% of voters are in favor of the Lisbon Treaty, down seven points since the last poll two weeks ago, 27% were against the treaty, up four points, while 18% were undecided, unchanged from the previous poll. But nothing to worry about, since the “yes” voters still remain comfortably ahead of the “no” voters.

Counting on my fingers, Germany: done, Ireland: on a good way, Poland: said would ratify as soon as Ireland votes yes…

And once again Barosso repeating “I (…) stress the importance of completing the ratification process of the Lisbon Treaty in all Member States this autumn”.

Sounds like everything’s going fine in Neverland…

But, there are growing fears in the European Union. Indeed, some European Commission officials believe that Czech President Vaclav Klaus will delay the signing of the EU reform Lisbon treaty by weeks or months even if the treaty was approved by the Czech parliament and endorsed by the Czech Constitutional Court.

The French newspaper Libération says that Klaus is waiting for the election victory of the British Conservatives whose leader David Cameron has promised to call a referendum on the Lisbon treaty if it did not take force before in the meantime. Libération points to the letter Cameron sent to Klaus and says if the treaty were rejected in a British referendum it would mean its definitive end.
