The proposal is subject to the ordinary legislative procedure, and in Parliament the file was allocated to the Committees on Foreign Affairs and on Budgets under the joint committee procedure. Following swift consideration by the committees, Parliament adopted its negotiating position in a plenary vote on 16 October 2023. Trilogue negotiations can start as soon as the Council agrees upon its position. Second edition.
