02/07/2021 (Agence Europe) – According to information gathered by EUROPE on Friday 2 July, negotiations between the different political groups in the European Parliament on the proposed revision of the EU regulation (347/2013) on guidelines for trans-European energy infrastructure (TEN-E) are progressing more slowly than expected, forcing a change in the initial timetable. Scheduled for 15 July, the vote in the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) on the draft report (see EUROPE 12697/14) by Zdzisław Krasnodębski (ECR, Poland) is therefore likely to be postponed to the end of September, with a view to a final vote in Parliament’s plenary session in October. On the EU Council side, the Member States reached a political agreement (‘general approach’) on 11 June (see EUROPE 12739/1). Once the Parliament’s position has been agreed, the interinstitutional negotiations (trilogue) can begin. (DG)
