Pat Cox and Ulick McEvaddy were the speakers at the fourth meeting of the IIEA's Young Professionals' Network. The audience was treated to a lively debate on the Lisbon Treaty referendum, with Mr. Cox and Mr. McEvaddy making their case for a Yes and No vote respectively. The speakers addressed a wide range of issues relating to the Treaty in the debate, which was extremely well attended and participated in by members. Treaty issues relating to business were particularly debated, such as the issue of the common consolidated tax base, tax sovereignty, competition and regulation. There were both potential No and Yes voters in the audience and this made for interesting discussions for the group over drinks after the event.
This debate was sponsored by the European Commission.
