Property:Treaty of Lisbon

The European Union is an international organization of 27 member states. The EU and its constituent bodies play a major and growing role in European policy integration.

In 2007 the EU prepared the Treaty of Lisbon, which establishes a new legal basis for its activities and expands its powers and authority. The Treaty is expected to be ratified by all member states by the end of 2008 and enter into force in 2009.

The Lisbon Treaty incorporates the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, whose Article 3, entitled “Rights to the Integrity of the Person,” prohibits human reproductive cloning, “eugenic practices, in particular those aiming at the selection of persons,” and “making the human body and its parts as such a source of financial gain.”

The rejection of the Treaty by Irish voters in 2008 causes the future of the treaty, and the incorporation of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, to be in doubt.
