France: Parliament Set to Ratify European Treaty

By AP

Published: February 5, 2008

Both houses of Parliament met in joint session at the Palace of Versailles and approved a revision of the constitution necessary for ratification of the new, simplified European Union treaty. The vote paved the way for parliamentary ratification of the treaty on Thursday. France’s rejection of a proposed European Union constitution in a 2005 popular referendum paralyzed the union. The constitution has since been streamlined and renamed a treaty, and is being put before member nations. President Nicolas Sarkozy decided that this time Parliament would vote on the charter, diminishing the risk of rejection.
