That's what it appeared to look like from the IGC mandate, but given the nature of the Irish guarantees I wondered if they might be tagged on to an IGC behind the scenes. Obviously the "earliest available opportunity" to add the Irish guarantees to the Treaties doesn't mean earliest possible opportunity!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-492174345240444269.post-66981973979744865422010-06-20T18:28:13.507+02:002010-06-20T18:28:13.507+02:00Anonymous,

Do you happen to know if the IGC will also discuss the 'Irish Protocol' (the legal "guarantees" they were given to support a second vote on the Lisbon Treaty) and the adjoining of the Czech Republic to the Polish/UK Protocol on the Charter of Fundamental Rights?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-492174345240444269.post-28967650439347661482010-06-20T11:13:21.837+02:002010-06-20T11:13:21.837+02:00Julien,
