After Poland's ratification of the Lisbon Treaty on Saturday, only the Czech Republic remains to approve the EU's newest legislation. The Lisbon Treaty will provide the EU's President and Foreign Policy directors with long term positions and more power along with speeding up decision-making and voting procedures. The leaders of the EU are optimistic that the last signing will occur very soon and for the opportunities the Union has in the future. In a statement by Italy's charismatic Prime Minister Silvio Burlusconni, "The ratification of this treaty will ensure Europe's strength and efficiency, thus enticing more nations to join from the Balkans and Eastern Europe."
