European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said on Tuesday he did not expect any more countries to reject the EU’s reform treaty after the “no” by Irish voters.
Addressing the Italian parliament, Barroso said Polish President Lech Kaczynski had reassured him his country would not block the ratification of the treaty. Barroso said the Czech Republic would also be no obstacle.
“There has only been one “no” to the ratification of the treaty and I do not expect any more,” Barroso said.
Irish voters rejected the Lisbon treaty in a referendum last month, casting doubts over its fate.
“During the next months, it will be crucial to work in a close partnership with the Irish government to move ahead,” Barroso said.
