Slovakia's parliament has ratified the Lisbon Treaty, despite a boycott of the vote by some opposition parties. Previous attempts to hold a vote had to be scrapped because of a series of walkouts by MPs over a media law, which critics say harms press freedom. But one of the opposition parties decided to drop its boycott and give Prime Minister Robert Fico the majority he needed to push the bill through. Poland has also formally ratified the treaty, after a vote by MPs last week. President Lech Kaczynski took the final step, nine days after both houses of parliament had backed a law authorising him to do so. Austria's parliament ratified the document on Wednesday.
