17/09/2019 (Agence Europe) – Meeting on 16 September in Strasbourg, the European Parliament Committee on Civil Liberties decided to confirm the decision made by the coordinators of the political groups on 12 September to postpone the decision on the ECR group's proposal to draw up an own-initiative report on revising the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) (see EUROPE 12326/18). This decision was passed by 50 votes to 7. The own-initiative report on the EAW will therefore be dealt with at the same time as all other own-initiative reports about which the committee has planned to make decisions on 8 October. “Our group does not want this postponed again”, said the report’s author, Spanish MEP Jorge Buxadé Villalba (ECR) from the Spanish VOX party, on 12 September, as he called for an urgent review of the EAW and demanded an immediate vote on the matter.
