14/06/2005 (Agence Europe) - The French UMP MEP Françoise Grossetete has asked for the vote on her report on paediatric medicines, initially scheduled for Tuesday 14 June within the committee on the environment of the European Parliament, to be postponed. This means that the vote will not take place before July. According to one of the rapporteur's assistants, this request is due to delays in the translation of the amendments.
