9. Request for consultation of the European Economic and Social Committee (Rule 145)

The President announced that, pursuant to Rule 145(2), he had received a request from the EMPL Committee to consult the European Economic and Social Committee on decent minimum salaries throughout the European Union.

That request for consultation of the European Economic and Social Committee would be deemed to have been approved unless, within 24 hours, a political group or Members reaching at least the low threshold requested that it be put to the vote.
