The Institute of International and European Affairs has produced a consolidated version of the EU's Founding Treaties, which tracks each change that is introduced by the Treaty of Lisbon. Readers will be able to see in intricate detail exactly what the Treaty of Lisbon would delete, add or amend in the EU's pre-Lisbon rulebook.

 

This study is published as a contribution to informed public debate on the meaning and implications of the Treaty of Lisbon. It consists of fourteen chapters, dealing with aspects of the Treaty's origins, content and implications, written by contributors from a wide field of disciplines.

These explanatory fact sheets on the Lisbon Treaty are the latest in the series of information publications that the IIEA has produced on the European Treaties since the Institute's establishment. The Fact sheets are designed with the general public in mind, with a particular emphasis on women and young people. In keeping with the Institute's role as an independent forum providing in-depth analysis of EU policy developments and their implications for Ireland and Europe, these fact sheets contribute to informed public debate on the Lisbon Treaty in Ireland by providing the facts in a balanced and concise manner.
