Andrew Duff welcomes Swedish YES to Lisbon

Originally published by Andrew Duff MEP

"Sweden has today drawn closer to the heart of Europe", says Andrew Duff, spokesman for the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats (ALDE) on the Treaty of Lisbon.

Following the positive decision by the Riksdag today (Thursday), Andrew Duff said:

"Sweden has joined 25 other national parliaments in Europe, alongside the European Parliament, in saying yes to Lisbon. It is fortunate that Sweden does not have an eccentric, eurosceptic head of state to impede the completion of the ratification process.

"For Ireland, the message is clear. Small and 'neutral' countries need a strong and reformed European Union in which to live and towards which to contribute."

ENDS
