 | | Nor did the Treaty of Nice deal with the question of the incorporation of the Charter of Fundamental Rights into the Treaty; that was also left for the 2004 IGC after the opposition of the United Kingdom. | | | The Treaty also contained provisions to deal with the financial consequences of the expiry of the ECSC treaty (Treaty of Paris (1951)). | | | Under the current rules for the amendment of the Treaties, the Treaties can only be amended by a new Treaty, which must be ratified by each of the Member States to enter into force. |

| | Nice Treaty |
| | The Treaty was finally agreed by the Heads of State or Government of the 15 EU members in December 2000 (at Nice in France, during the French Presidency of the EU) and signed on 26 February 2001. | | | Compared to the Treaties that the Irish electorate voted on in 1987 (the Single European Act or SEA) or 1992 (Maastricht), which made way for the development of the Single Market and broadened the scope of EU co-operation, the Nice Treaty is a moderate European Treaty. | | | The Treaty was the result of negotiation, and compromises were made by all concerned to reach an agreement. |

| | Ireland Nice Treaty Referendum - Anthony Coughlan - Spectre Magazine 25th October, 2002 |
| | In the Nice Treaty Re-run referendum the Irish political class, with honourable exceptions, has acted foolishly and shamefully. | | | Scandalously, in the Nice Re-run, in contrast to last year, Mr Justice T.A. Finlay and his colleagues failed signally to carry out their statutory duty. | | | On a dark day for democracy in Ireland and in Europe, Irish voters have succumbed to threats, pressure and bamboozlement by their political class and agreed by 63% to 37% of those voting to ratify the identical Nice Treaty that they rejected last year by 54% to 46%. |
