The Lisbon Treaty was introduced to replace the rejected EU Constitution.
It's critics say it is the same document repackaged and re-presented under a different name but this time without a referendum in those countries which rejected it's predecessor.
Ireland is as far as I am aware the only country which will now hold a referendum on ratification which will take place in 4 weeks time. Rejection by Ireland will (theoretically at least) mean the scrapping of the treaty.
For those Europeans who do not have a vote on whether or not they want this new treaty here is a chance to register your approval or disapproval
