8. Negotiations ahead of Parliament's first reading (consent) (Rule 69c)

The President announced that he had received a request for a vote to be held from the GUE/NGL and Verts/ALE Groups and several Members concerning the decision by the AFET Committee to enter into the interinstitutional negotiations announced in the minutes of Monday, 11 September 2017 (minutes of 11.9.2017, item 10).

The vote would be held on the following day.

The President announced that he had not received any requests for a vote to be held from Members or a political group or groups, reaching at least the medium threshold, concerning the other decisions to enter into interinstitutional negotiations announced in the minutes of Monday, 11 September 2017 (minutes of 11.9.2017, item 10).

The EMPL, ECON and ENVI Committees had therefore been able to enter into those negotiations following expiry of the deadline laid down in Rule 69c(2).
