Verbatim reports

The final draft agenda for the July 2015 sittings (PE 563.528/PDOJ) had been distributed and a number of changes had been proposed (Rule 152):

Monday

No changes.

Tuesday

- The President proposed, firstly, to make the Commission statement on ‘Preparation of the Commission Work Programme 2016’ (draft agenda item 85) the first item on the afternoon's agenda, in place of the conclusions of the European Council (25 and 26 June 2015) and the current situation in Greece, and, secondly, to include as the second item on the agenda for Wednesday morning the European Council and Commission statements on the ‘Conclusions of the European Council (25-26 June 2015) and of the Euro Summit (7 July 2015) and the current situation in Greece’ (draft agenda item 75).

The House agreed to the proposal.

- The following spoke: Guy Verhofstadt, to request that the Greek Prime Minister, Alexis Tsipras, and the President of the Eurogroup, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, should take part in the latter debate, and, on the request, Rebecca Harms and Peter van Dalen (the President replied that he would convey the invitation).

- Request by Emmanouil Glezos and 51 Members for the inclusion on Tuesday afternoon's agenda of a Commission statement on Germany's debt after the Second World War.

The following spoke: Emmanouil Glezos, to move the request, Gabriele Zimmer, to second it, and Cristian Dan Preda against.

Parliament rejected the request.

Wednesday

- The second item on the morning's agenda would be the European Council and Commission statements on the Conclusions of the European Council (25 and 26 June 2015) and of the Euro Summit (7 July 2015) and the current situation in Greece. This item would replace the Commission statement on preparation of the Commission Work Programme 2016, which was being brought forward to Tuesday afternoon.

The votes would therefore start at 13h00.
