500 million Europeans are waiting. SIGN NOW!
WHY? To demand his signature on Lisbon without delay WHEN? Thursday 15th October WHERE? Simultaneously across the 27 Member States of the EU HOW? Presidents of the 27 JEF Sections will post the letter. Pictures will be available on www.jef.eu on Thursday afternoon. The 27 Member States of the EU will each send a pen to President Klaus asking him to sign the Lisbon Treaty without delay. On Thursday 15th October, presidents of the 27 sections of JEF-Europe (Young European Federalists), including the Czech Republic, will send a letter to President Klaus with a European Union pen, encouraging him to sign off the Treaty without delay.

Vice-President of the federalist organisation and co-ordinator of the YES2LISBON campaign Toni Giugliano said: “Europe has been held back long enough. Klaus is simply finding ways of holding it back further.” “First he chooses to wait for Ireland’s referendum result. Then he completely ignores the Irish shout for change in Europe. Now he is even ignoring the will of both houses of the Czech parliament, causing the Czech cabinet to meet in emergency sessions." “Even more pathetic is to see Klaus in a last minute attempt to add footnotes to the Treaty to stall the entire project. He is completely exceeding his constitutional capacity as President”. “We are starting to wonder whether this is David Cameron pulling the strings, and it’s certainly starting to look that way. David Neuwirth, President of JEF Czech Republic said: “Through this action we ask our President to respect the will of the Czech people. Both houses of Parliament have clearly voted in favour of the Treaty and the Constitutional Court has already affirmed its compatibility with the Czech legal order.” “Recent SANEP data shows that around 43% of Czechs want Klaus to sign Lisbon immediately. Even more significant is the fact that over 55% of Czechs would vote for Lisbon in a referendum.” “Once the repeated challenge of the Treaty is decided by the Court, it will be up to him to respect that decision."
