German parliament approved bill for ratifying EU reform treaty

On September 8, 2009, the German Bundestag voted 494-46 to approve a bill allowing Germany to ratify the Lisbon Treaty. Although the Bundestag had previously approved the treaty, the German Constitutional Court ruled in June 2009 that the treaty could not be ratified without reforms ensuring German sovereignty. The bill was later also approved by the Bundesrat and the president.
