| Description | LUXEMBOURG (Reuters) - Luxembourg approved the European Union's troubled constitution by a solid majority in a referendum on Sunday, averting the threat of Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker's resignation.
Voters in the duchy of 465,000 people that houses several key EU institutions backed the charter by 56.52 percent to 43.48 percent, with all votes counted.
The result is unlikely to revive the charter, designed to make EU decision-making more efficient after the bloc's expansion last year, after it was rejected in French and Dutch referenda. |
