Brussels, Jun 20 (Prensa Latina) The six-month summit of heads of state and governments of the European Union (EU) ends Friday with no accord on a foreseeable date to approve the Lisbon Treaty, rejected in a referendum by Ireland.
According to a draft report on the meeting' outcomes, the European Council coincided with that country's suggestion to postpone the issue to another date.
The "No" victory in the Irish referendum a week ago broke the EU hopes of presenting a Constitution, which would guarantee institutional reforms and more effective direction of the 27 community nations.
The regional rule needed approval from all the bloc's member states to come into force in January 2009.
According to statements by leaders attending the Brussels meeting, it is necessary to pave the way so that the reform treaty is implemented before the European Parliament elections, slated for June 2009.
The EU will take the issue again in the six-month summit starting in October, in which Ireland must present results of internal and external negotiations to be solved faced with the denial of accepting the controversial document.
Although no plan has been proposed about this issue, everything indicates that the Irish will put the text up for consultation again, this time with some reforms.
The Lisbon Treaty emerged as an alternative of the unsuccessful European Constitution, rejected by France and Netherlands in 2005.
