The national experts of the Council of the European Union's working party on intermodal questions and networks will finally revisit, on 26 June, the delegated regulation on the deployment of cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS).
While a discussion was scheduled for 14 June, the EU Council's legal services have not yet presented their opinion on the matter and it has therefore been decided to postpone the discussion. This echoes the Commission's presentation of the delegated act on this subject in March (see EUROPE 12213/37).
The EU Council and the European Parliament normally have 2 months to approve or object to such an act. Parliament gave the green light on 17 April last (see EUROPE 12238/6) while the Member States decided in May to extend their decision-making deadline by 2 months in order to examine the opinion of the EU Council's legal services (see EUROPE 12253/29).
It should be recalled that, for the act to be subject to an objection in the EU Council, a majority of 21 Member States representing 65% of the population is required. According to our information, the current trend is more in favour of approving this text. (Original version in French by Lucas Tripoteau)
