Zahradil "No reference to the EU constitution" during IGC
By Europe on Friday, May 18 2007, 16:08 - Carton rouge - Permalink
We are happy to give our 1st Carton rouge to one of the most Euroskeptic European Deputy: Jan Zahradil.
The following is the motivation:
Zahradil told Czech Business Weekly he and a few other negotiators were responsible for the exclusion of all references to the renewal of negotiations for the constitution. “Our two demands were that there should be no reference to the EU Constitution, and that there should be no explicit deadline set for ratifying it,” Zahradil said. “In the final text the constitution is not mentioned, and the deadline set is very general,” he added, saying he considered this a partial victory.
Jan Zahradil is Member of the European Parliament (MEP) and Czech Republic’s representative in negotiations over the European Constitution.
