Brussels, Oct 08, SPA --Czech President Vaclav Klausraised a new obstacle to the European Union's Lisbon reformtreaty today, telling EU president Sweden he wants afootnote added to the document before signing it into force, Reuters reported. Polish President Lech Kaczynski will sign the treaty onSaturday, an aide said, leaving Klaus as the only EU state leader holding out against ratifying the treaty to give the27-nation bloc more influence in world affairs The treaty's backers say failure to secure Klaus's signaturewould plunge the EU into crisis, potentially paralysing the blocas it tackles a deep economic crisis and power shifts towardsChina and other emerging powers. "I spoke by phone today with President Klaus ... In order tosign the treaty, Klaus asked for a footnote of two sentencesconcerning, as I understand, the charter of fundamental rights,"Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt told Reuters bytelephone. Reinfeldt said Klaus wanted his footnote to the charter offundamental human rights, which is part of the Lisbon treaty,adopted by EU leaders. "I told him this is the wrong message at the wrong time forthe EU. I told him clearly it is his ink on the paper thatcounts and I don't want this to delay the treaty going throughas soon as possible," he said. --SPA www.spa.gov.sa/707117
