Vincent Browne. "Gobbledegook and the case against Lisbon Treaty". Irish Times. 5 Mar, 2008 - Just ask Bertie what the following means: Article 7 shall be amended as follows: (a) throughout the Article, the word "assent" shall be replaced by "consent", the reference to breach "of principles mentioned in Article 6(1)" shall be replaced by a reference to breach "of the values referred to in Article 2" and the words "of this Treaty" shall be replaced by "of the Treaties". (Actually, this sounds like something Bertie himself would say, but then does anybody understand that?)
The point of the exercise was to achieve the same changes to the EU that the rejected EU constitution proposed, but to do this by way of a new treaty amending previous treaties and in ways that only a few legal eagles could possibly understand. Even then, they would understand it if they gave over a week of their time to do so (fee €20,000).
