CZECH President Vaclav Klaus discussed his countrys ratification of the European Unions reform treaty with Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt on 7 October, the presidential office said. In Stockholm, Reinfeldt later told reporters that Klaus had noted that the constitutional court process must be completed before he can conclude the ratification. Klaus further conveyed that he wanted an addition in the form of a footnote consisting of two sentences that I understand concerned the special rights charter in the Lisbon Treaty, Reinfeldt added. The Czech president wanted the footnote to be approved at a coming European Council, the Swedish premier said. Swedish EU observers suggested the move was part of Klauss attempts to stall the process. The Czech presidents office also said that Klaus was to meet European Parliament President Jerzy Buzek on Friday, who is set to visit Prague as part of what is seen as an EU-wide diplomatic effort to ensure the pacts Czech ratification. Klaus, a vocal opponent of the so-called Lisbon treaty and deeper European integration, may be the final person whose approval will be required for the accord to come to force. The Eurosceptic Czech leader, who is barred from signing the treaty pending a legal challenge, has been under increased pressure to ratify it promptly, if the countrys Constitutional Court strikes down the complaint lodged recently by his followers. After Ireland cleared the pact in a rerun referendum last week, it also awaits a presidential approval in Poland where officials have so far issued conflicting messages on that signatures timing. Polish President Lech Kaczynski, however, is expected to ratify the accord in coming days. The Lisbon Treaty, which aims to raise EUs profile in the world arena through streamlining decision-making in the enlarged union, requires approval by all 27 members to become valid. The EU would like to see it to come to force on 1 January. As part of the EUs pro-Lisbon diplomatic drive, Swedish European Affairs Minister Cecilia Malmstroem met with several Czech officials in Prague on Thursday to map out prospects for the Czech ratification.
