President. – In relation to the decisions by the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) and the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) to enter into interinstitutional negotiations, first we went to Rule 71(1), as announced at the opening of the session on Monday, 13 September. The President has received no requests for a vote in Parliament by Members or political groups meeting at least the medium threshold. The committees may therefore start the negotiations.
