   EP - Decision by Parliament
Details

The European Parliament adopted a decision concerning circumstances in which there is a tied vote on intervention in legal proceedings (interpretation of Rule 159(3)).

Parliament decided to append the following interpretation to Rule 159(3):

“Rule 159(3) is to be interpreted as meaning that, where there is a tied vote on a draft recommendation under Rule 128(4) not to intervene in proceedings before the Court of Justice of the European Union, such a tie does not signify the adoption of a recommendation that Parliament should intervene in those proceedings. In such a case, the committee responsible is to be deemed not to have expressed any recommendation”.
