Abstract
The 27 European leaders reached a deal on the new "Reform treaty" during a two-day summit at lisbon on October 18th and 19th 2007, ending more than two years of political crisis after the French and Dutch referenda. This agreement comes after a long and complex process of elaboration and negotiations, which is not safe from any situation reversal. During a European Union (EU) summit in last June 21st to 23rd, a new treaty project was drafted to accommodate demands made by nations. During this meeting, the 27 EU leaders agreed to the broad guidelines for the new document, aimed at streamlining decision-making in the enlarging bloc. The document performed is difficult to read and runs to more than 250 pages with appended declarations and protocols. It contains many positive elements of the failed European Constitution, which was rejected by French and Dutch voters in referenda two years ago.
