BVerfGE on ToL

On 30 June 2009 Bundesverfassungsgericht (German Federal Constitutional Court) delivered a judgment on the conformity of the Act approving the Treaty of Lisbon with the German Constitution. The Act Extending and Strengthening the Rights of the Bundestag and the Bundesrat in European Union Matters was held unconstitutional insofar as the Bundestag and the Bundesrat have not been accorded sufficient participatory rights in the European lawmaking procedures and treaty amendment procedures (2 BvE 2/08, 2 BvE 5/08, 2 BvR 1010/08, 2 BvR 1022/08, 2 BvR 1259/08 et 2 BvR 182/09).
