The second part of the plan is for the EU to provide the Irish with a series of clarifications on other key issues. These include Ireland’s exclusive right to decide policy on issues such as abortion and corporation tax as well as participation in European security and defense operations.
计划的第二部分是让欧盟向爱尔兰人澄清一系列其他关键的问题，包括指明爱尔兰特有的权力，例如决定堕胎和公司税收，参加欧盟安全和防御行动等事务的权力。这种方式效仿了丹麦有权在指定领域从法律上退出的模式。就这些事宜作出的政治宣言将在联合国作为国际条约记录在册，以便提供法律上的约束力，但是《里斯本条约》不会发生变动。
