Members on the Foreign Affairs and International Trade Committees will debate the new EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement today at 10h CET. The joint meeting of the lead committees will intensify the democratic parliamentary scrutiny process for the new EU-UK Trade and Co-operation Agreement reached by EU and British negotiators on 24 December.

The two committees will in due course vote on the consent proposal prepared by the two standing rapporteurs Christophe Hansen (EPP, Luxembourg) and Kati Piri (S&D, the Netherlands), to allow for a plenary vote before the end of the provisional application of the agreement.

In addition to the plenary vote, Parliament will also vote on an accompanying resolution prepared by the political groups in the UK Co-ordination Group and the Conference of Presidents.

The meeting

When: Thursday, 14 January, at 10.00 CET.
