Estonia to complete ratification of EU constitution in May - by Lucia Kubosova
Estonia is set to complete the ratification of the EU constitution in May, becoming the 15th member state to adopt the treaty. The country's three-party ruling coalition decided on Monday (18 April) to press ahead with the second parliamentary reading on the EU charter. The move will finalise the ratification process in Estonia, the vice-chairman of the Reform party, Meelis Atonen, told journalists on Tuesday. Finland is likely to follow suit before it takes over the EU presidency from Austria in July.
Fourteen member states have already ratified the constitution: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain.
