MEP PUBLISHES GUIDE TO EU REFORM TREATY
For those interested in the detail of the new EU Reform Treaty (repackaged Constitution), Jim Allister QC MEP has published on his website 'A Guide to the Treaty of Lisbon'. It can be viewed here
Commenting Jim Allister said:-
'Whereas for most it is enough to know that the Reform Treaty:
*siphons further powers from the member states to Brussels, not least by radically reducing the availability of the national veto,
* and confers the trappings of superstatehood on the EU, through a permanent President, Foreign Minister and bestowing legal personality on the Union,
some may want to study the matter more deeply. In this regard I trust they will find this guide a useful and objective tool.'
