Copyright rules for the #DigitalMarket: Plenary to decide on opening of negotiations
All MEPs will be called to vote on the negotiation mandate proposed by the Legal Affairs committee to hammer out digital copyright rules. The vote will be on Thursday (5 July) at noon.
According to the European Parliament’s rules of procedure, at least 76 MEPs (10%) are needed to object to opening of negotiations with the Council without first seeking plenary approval. By the deadline of midnight on Tuesday (3 July), enough MEPs had in fact lodged their objection.
If Thursday’s vote confirms the mandate as adopted at committee level, negotiations between the European Parliament and the Council will be able to begin at any time. If on the other hand the vote does not confirm the mandate, the substance of the legal act will be debated and voted upon during the plenary session of September.
