It must be that Wallstrom’s Ze Plan for more democracy includes further half-secretive ratifications. Yesterday and today we were pleasantly surprised by the Portugese and German ratifications:

However in Germany there are certain legal(constitutional) and political questions to be resolved before the ratification will be official - we’ll have to wait at least until the 23rd of May when Bundesrat will decide the fate of REUC.

NEWSFLASH: Danish parliament has also fallen to the temptation today - 90 MPs in favour, 25 against, 64 have not taken place at the vote.

Hence: Ireland, here we come!
