13-07-2020 - 11:07

Gabriele Bischoff (S&D) will present her draft report on the modification of the rules of Procedure to deal with exceptional circumstances. The draft report is based on the work of the AFCO working group on the rules Procedure, chaired by Rainer Wieland (EPP).

The draft report aims at establishing appropriate provisions to define exceptional circumstances, such as current sanitary crisis, which can affect the Parliament and the set of possible decision-making mechanisms to react to such situation in order to preserve Parliament's capacity to act.
