1. Opening of the sitting
The sitting opened at 8.45.

Following the redistribution of the votes among the different voting sessions, the final votes on the three procedures concerning the common agricultural policy (reports by Peter Jahr A8-0200/2019, Ulrike Müller A8-0199/2019 and Eric Andrieu A8-0198/2019) would be moved to the second voting session.
This meant that the third voting session, scheduled for 18.00 to 19.15, would be cancelled, along with the announcement of the voting results, scheduled for 21.30.
The updated information would be made available on Parliament's internet site under the heading 'Priority information and documents'.
