20/05/2026 (Agence Europe) – The European Parliament’s political groups The Left and Greens/EFA tabled requests on Tuesday 19 May in the evening for a vote to be held this Thursday in plenary on Parliament’s mandate for interinstitutional negotiations (trilogues) on the legislative package designed to relaunch the securitisation market, adopted at the beginning of May by the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON) (see EUROPE 13863/16, 13862/3). In accordance with Parliament’s rules of procedure, negotiating mandates adopted in committee are not automatically put to a vote in plenary. However, a political group or a minimum number of Members may request, within a certain period, that a formal vote be held before the opening of the trilogues with the Council of the EU. 25 MEPs had opposed, in the ECON committee, the texts prepared by rapporteur Ralf Seekatz (EPP, German).
