Lisbon Treaty going ahead

There is a report from Friends of Europe on what is happening behind the scenes regarding the Lisbon Treaty. It appears that discussions are going on behind closed doors about the implementation of certain parts of the Treaty, in particular the creation of the EEAS, the diplomatic service.

The Lisbon Treaty provides for work to start early – between signature and ratification – but if we remember, the Treaty has been rejected. It looks to me as if democracy is being ignored because it is less important than the European Project.

I should like one of our MPs to ask the Government to confirm that it is not a party to such discussions and never would be unless the Treaty were to be ratified by all member states.
