The Conference of Presidents met today and reaffirmed the European Parliament’s position regarding the deal reached with the Council on the MFF, the related Inter-institutional Agreement (IIA), the related set of unilateral and joint declarations, and the regulation on Rule of Law conditionality.
Parliament’s leaders ask the Council to adopt the package and begin the ratification process as soon as possible.
The European Parliament already adopted
its opinion on the Own-Resources Decision on 16 September, well in time
to allow the Council and subsequently the Member States to ratify the
Decision by the end of 2020.
We ask the Council to adopt the package
and begin the ratification process as soon as possible. The European
Parliament’s leadership deeply regrets this delay and reiterates that
the agreements reached (on both the MFF and the Rule of Law) are a
closed deal and can in no way be reopened.
No further concession will be made on our side.
