European Parliament President Martin Schulz decided on Tuesday
to postpone theplenary vote on the EP recommendations to the
negotiators of the Transatlantictrade and investment partnership
(TTIP), scheduled for noon the following day. Inline with Rule 175
of the EP Rules of Procedure, he decided to refer the 116amendments
tabled to the report back to the Committee on International Trade,
forconsideration and a vote on whether they are to be put to a
plenary vote.
In a message to all MEPs, Mr Schulz cited the fact that more
than 200 amendments andrequests for split or separate votes had
been tabled to the Lange report in plenary. Heasked the committee
to meet in order to consider those amendments and requests.
"We respect President Schulz's decision and will continue the
work on the TTIP-resolutionin the Trade Committee. We will use the
additional time we gained to work towardsreaching a stable majority
for the TTIP-resolution. The EP can only come forward with astrong
message for the TTIP negotiators if our resolution is supported by
a broadmajority", said the rapporteur and EP Trade Committee chair
Bernd Lange (S&D, DE).
The EP Committee on International Trade meets next on 15-16 June
in Brussels.
