The Eurosceptic Czech President, Vaclav Klaus, says he wants his country to have an opt-out from a key EU charter before he will sign the Lisbon Treaty.

President Klaus demanded an opt-out from the Charter of Fundamental Rights, similar to opt-outs agreed previously for the UK and Poland, the BBC reported.

The demand threatens a further delay over the treaty.

Poland's President, Lech KaczyЕ„ski, is expected to sign the treaty on Saturday. That would leave only Klaus still to sign.

Klaus is reported to have raised fears about property claims by Germans expelled from the then Czechoslovakia after World War II.

Czech President Klaus Demands Opt-Out from Lisbon Treaty
European citizen need Serbia to resist!

The Lisbon Treaty is a rat trap that puts people in cages.

It is vital to delay the possible ratification.

We absolutely need time to inform our citizens about the perversity of a system that abandons the democratic process and derived a forced march to the satisfaction of powerful special interests to the detriment of general interest.

We need time to warn people about the realities of
- the Bilderberg meetings
- the Trilateral Commission
- the Council of Foreign Relations
- etc. ...

All these circles undemocratic working under cover for decades and grow to a new world order where people no longer have their say.

We need time to allow people to become aware of the real objectives of the New World Order.

The treaty must be thoroughly amended to give latitude to the democratic expression:

> Freedom of expression and opposition should be more explicitly encouraged.

> The fight against the illegal actions of lobbying - from financial groups, ideological and industrial - must be clearly

> The fight against the lies and corruption of the powerful must be included as a right of every citizen and sanctions of dismissal and disqualification should be the rule.

> Transparency of debates and votes in Parliament must be total (video recording sessions available to every citizen, minutes of meetings available to all citizens)

The Lisbon Treaty is not in this sense and for this reason it should not be ratified.

ph,

your statement regarding "The New World Order" sounds very much like a new conspiracy theory.

"The Lisbon Treaty is a rat trap that puts people in cages." - That is pure nonsense of course. I am not sure if you read the text of the Lisbon Treaty. The Lisbon Treaty is a comparatively small reform that doesn't really introduce something substantially new. Therefore the big discussion about it is an a way very ridiculous.

In a way your statement is typical for a certain category of critics of the European integration. Instead of developing detailed arguments about the need for reforms in the European process and the institutions, they come up with conspiracy theories and compare European integration with Stalinism or other totalitarian regimes. On such a level it is difficult to argue because the nonsense of such a view is obvious.

That's the difference between Europe and America. The American states were happy to become a part of the USA. Some states even gave up polygamy to achieve statehood. European countries are holding back, playing hard to get. Ignorant imbeciles.

DrFaust,

Of course ! Sure!
Silly belief in a diabolical conspiracy
So simple...
Bilderberg meeting don't exist, netheir Trilateral commission or CFR
That 's just a rumor.
Sure!!!

And European treaty is so clear, so innocent, so aimed at the general interest rather than to the interests of Banksters and international corporations...

Did you read, did you heared about some appendix?

Here's one example, from a French website (Google translation)
http://www.alterinfo.net/Pourquoi-les-medias-ne-nous-ont-pas-parle-de-ca_a37344.html

The European Constitution provides some kind of smokescreen concerning freedom and prepares the ground for a totalitarian police drift of Europe through "annexes" ignored the public and the media never talk. These annexes empty shell the "Charter of Fundamental Rights included in the constitution and intended to guarantee human rights in Europe. European law is above national laws, these limitations apply to all European countries ...

The Constitution and its "simplified" version (the Lisbon Treaty) contains numerous annexes whose role is to indicate how the various items must be interpreted and applied.
These annexes are legally part of the Constitution:
Article IV-442:
"The Protocols and Annexes to this Treaty shall form an integral part."
Furthermore, the Annexes are designated as reference for the interpretation to be made by any court:
Article II-112, 7:
"The explanations drawn to guide the interpretation of the Charter of Fundamental Rights are taken into account by the courts of the Union and Member States."
But hidden among the appendices, there are "explanations" which can simply not implement the Charter of Fundamental Rights (Part II of the Constitution) in which case the definition is deliberately vague and extensible.
These annexes to the Charter of Fundamental Rights contained in Article 12 of Section A of the "final act" in Part IV, at the end of the constitutional text to protect the eyes of many voters who have abandoned the reading before the end.


And what about drift safe, in opposition with freedom of citizens?

Los Angeles has had "street cameras" for a few years, now. Purportedly, they just watch the streets and look at passers-by, and put them on TV (I guess for those who otherwise would be hanging out of windows and wishing they could see the stars downtown), but I look at all of this skeptically and consider it an invasion of privacy. Whose business is it what store I shop in?

"WAKE UP!!!"

No, you wake up!

Giving up rights and freedoms in exchange for peace of mind is a fair exchange. The rest of the world agrees with me. Only those who have something to hide are afraid of surveillance and transparency. You must be a smuggler or some kind of terrorist. As far as I am concerned, terrorists are not human and have no human rights such as privacy or anything else. It is high time the EU stopped being naive and started protecting Europeans from Muslim extremists.

Call her brainwashed all you want, but NOT a typical American! That can insult ten million people in a single city.

Obama scares me. He's heading the US into more government servitude at taxpayer expense, and that's worrying.

You should be shaking in your boots. That maniac is going to tamper with medicare, take away benefits from old people, cut your pension--already the cost of living increase is frozen for 2010. In the meantime, the euro is going up and the dollar is going down--not good news for people living on a fixed dollar incomes. You are in deep doody, Billy goat!

" You're so brainwashed, a typical American. "

I would rather be brainwashed than bombed in the hotels and the subways like in Europe. Shows you what happens when you allow Muslims to infiltrate your society. And make NO mistake, Europe has been infiltrated, penetrated, and sodomized by the Muslim vermin. It will only get worse--more violence, more bombs, more social unrest.
