Twenty-Eighth Amendment of the Constitution (Treaty of Lisbon) Bill 2009: Second Stage
Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)
The Lisbon treaty also contains another simplified revision procedure, which provides that the European Council, acting unanimously, can decide that a policy should in the future be decided by QMV rather than unanimity. This is a point the Senator was making earlier. However, it would have to be decided unanimously; therefore, we retain the veto.
