Already during its six-month Presidency, Slovenia has affirmed its desire that the ratification procedure should run smoothly during our Presidency and then continue just as effectively during the subsequent French Presidency, the objective being that the Lisbon Treaty should come into effect on 1 January 2009, as has been planned.
Oma kuuekuulise eesistumise jooksul on Sloveenia juba kinnitanud oma soovi, et ratifitseerimine kulgeks meie eesistumise ajal sujuvalt ning jätkuks siis sama tõhusalt järgneva Prantsusmaa eesistumisperioodi jooksul; eesmärgiks on Lissaboni lepingu jõustumine 1. jaanuaril 2009. aastal, nagu kavandatud.
