thread_title:  "led to the creation of the European Union" 

message: A dispute had been raised relating to the territorial application of the Maastricht Treaty on the Talk:Saint Pierre and Miquelon page. It relates to whether or not a territory could be part of the European Union without being part of the European Community.
Please post any comments you may have on the talk page. Caveat lector 16:09, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't there be a section on the legality of the treaty under British law?
Both Maude and Hurd broke their privy council oaths of office when Dame Barbara Mill's expert examination of law called for charges of treason to be levied against them.
Also as a Head Of State the Queen cannot be both a subject and a citizen under article 8 so makes the treaty a mockeryTwobells (talk) 11:23, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I like the EU, but I think "2009?" is a bit hopeful looking and not very neutral to have as the date for lisbon on the streams diagram. Perhaps "Date unclear" or "Putative" would be better labels to put on the diagram for Lisbon. --90.214.36.98 (talk) 22:37, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

message: In many (if not all) other official languages, the name of the Treaty is (translated literally) ‘Treaty on the European Union’. Why is the grammatical article in the English language missing? – Kaihsu (talk) 23:30, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the Treaty of Lisbon, the Treaty is named Treaty on European Union. Looks weird though, but it's official—Totie (talk) 06:31, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, that's the title of the original document, but I've added both because the variant with "the" appears in a ton of sources, including EU's own website, and a ton of books. Pcap ping 22:02, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

text:  The official English title is also at odds with the French and German ones in this respect, both of which use the definite article: :fr:Traité_sur_l'Union_européenne, :de:Vertrag über die Europäische Union. Pcap ping 22:22, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

message: "In accordance with British constitutional convention, specifically that of parliamentary sovereignty, ratification in the UK was not subject to approval by referendum."
This is not wholly correct. Parliamentary sovereignty was not authorised for this purpose under constitution as expressed in the Miller v. Government case.
Substantial changes in the constitution are subject to consent by the Crown (law), and by mandate, neither of which had occurred in the signing of the Maastricht or Lisbon Treaties.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:3842:4900:9051:2BAC:DC30:CB2F (talk) 20:14, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
