Belgium completes approval of EU Lisbon treaty
Belgium on Thursday completed its approval of the European Union's Lisbon reform treaty as the parliament of the country's Flemish region cleared the document, rejected by Irish voters last month. The Belgian assembly's vote brings the number of countries that have completed the parliamentary process on the treaty to 22, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said in a statement. "This is a strong signal of how important it is that all member states are heard during the ratification process," Barroso said.
