  Germany eu-policy_memberstates lisbon-treaty ratification

  • There has already been a precedent for this. In June 2005, Mr Kohler refused to sign off the German law approving the original EU constitution. In addition to France and the Netherlands having rejected the document, Mr Gauweiler had also brought a case against the EU constitution before Germany's constitutional court.
  • A delay in ratification by Germany would be embarrassing for chancellor Angela Merkel, who was largely responsible for getting a new treaty into shape again following the rejected constitution.
