The Lisbon Treaty

Before going to Europe,I'm interested in the process of European integration. Not long ago,the Lisbon Treaty was ratified by the EU members. What is it?
What's the impact when it comes into force?

I didn't have too much time to study the treaty sentence by sentence,so I read over the "fast facts"of the treaty,and came up with my take of it.

Well,for the people who are doubtful about the idea "the world is flat" will be assured that they're not wrong. And for the Eurosceptics,the treaty proves again that "all the european states linking together as a country functions well" doesn't work.

The Lisbon Treaty,coming after the failed European Constitution,bears so much pressure to keep the EU members all together and better enough to rival its counterparts,like the United States and China.  So it allows the EU members to keep their rights and prevend the EU regulations and laws to intervene in their sovereignty.

Some member states have the final say on the issues like taxation,immigration and abortion policies. While keeping highly flexible,the functioning of the Union under the Lisbon Treaty might still stay where it is today. Without a single policy and consensus,one might expect more treaties and amendments to come.

European Union is an acclaimed and succesful regional integration example. Euro states have been working on staying as a whole from a single market to a single,well,federation. But after four decades of hard work,the EU and its people still need more time to get their plans come alive.
