VOICED: Lisbon Treaty -- what does it mean to EU's citizens?

The Lisbon Treaty, signed in 2007, aims to streamline EU decision-making and create a presidential post. While most EU countries have ratified it, the Czech Republic's approval is pending. Public opinion varies across Europe, with skepticism in Britain and positive reception in Poland and Germany. France ratified the Treaty after overcoming previous constitutional hurdles. The Treaty's full implementation awaits Czech ratification, with potential delays in EU institutional changes.
