3. Negotiations ahead of Parliament's first reading (Rule 71) (action taken)

The President announced that no request had been received on behalf of a number of Members or a political group or groups reaching at least the minimum threshold concerning the other decisions to enter into interinstitutional negotiations as announced in the minutes of Wednesday 8 July 2020 (minutes of 8.7.2020, item 4).

The ITRE, EMPL and INTA Committees had thus been able to initiate negotiations on expiry of the deadline laid down in Rule 71(2).
