OPINION lisbon treaty : Historical dinner live: on the menu, one president

Historical dinner live: on the menu, one president

Tony Blair? (or David Miliband?) Herman van Rompuy? Peter Balkenende...? The culmination of a long, outdrawn and rather undemocratic process that is shaping the future of Europe is nigh; 19 November, to be precise, and the cafebabel.com Brussels team are invited - check their blog out this evening

INTERVIEW lisbon treaty : Jean-Christophe Bas: 'the erasmus generation doesn’t know how lucky it is'

Jean-Christophe Bas: 'the erasmus generation doesn’t know how lucky it is'

Finally, on 9 November 1989, there was peace. Young Europeans born after this historic day did experience the war. But what does the construction of Europe mean to them? In his book L’Europe à la carte, Jean-Christophe Bas calls upon the spoiled children of the eurogeneration’s in order to create a less self-centred Europe.

lisbon treaty : When pigs fly

When pigs fly

On Saint Never's day, a blue moon rises in the sky and the scene is like Noah's Ark. The creatures climb on board, in an attempt to prove that an event will never happen: they are hairy frogs, toothy chickens, flying pigs, flying donkeys, whistling crawfish and dark Germans .... it's the idiom of the week

The eurosceptic Pole Lech Kaczyński plans to sign the EU reform document in the next few days, Czech president Václav Klaus refuses and British conservative leader David Cameron again promises his country a referendum if he is elected prime minister in 2010 and the treaty has still not taken effect.

67% in Ireland say 'yes' to the Lisbon treaty

On 2 October, the Irish public allowed changes to the constitution to ratify the Lisbon treaty. The 'resounding' and 'convincing' vote dispels fears that the referendum would pass by a slim margin and demonstrate a lack of Irish faith in the democratic process, and in the EU

Lisbon treaty: Ireland bites back

Lisbon treaty: Ireland bites back

It's been over a year since the Irish rejected the EU reform treaty for Lisbon, which has been ratified by at least 24 other member states. Hot water is still being landed in across the continent as EU and national citizens argue about how the issue is discussed. We hear from voices who will vote yes and no for the second referendum on 2 October; that's if expats abroad can manage to get back home to vote at all, despite Ryanair's biased offer of free flights. Elsewhere, whether citizens are cycling for votes or recycling Lisbon treaty posters, we are treated to the real sound of the spirited Irish voice in the EU. No pressure, eh?

Libertas: eurosceptic, but first real europarty?

The Irish European parliament elections in June 2009 represent a key moment in Ireland’s future relations with the EU. The Lisbon treaty was rejected in June 2008; will Ireland elect many eurosceptic MEPs? Or are the Irish population really interested in a more inclusive and cohesive EU?
