Na kratko 02-06-2021

During the June I plenary session, the Council and the European Commission are expected to answer oral questions put by the European Ϸվ's Committee on Constitutional Affairs (AFCO) on the Ϸվ's proposal to repeal Decision 95/167/EC (which currently governs Ϸվ's right of inquiry) and adopt a new regulation to strengthen its investigative powers. Pointing out the Council's unwillingness to engage in political negotiations with Ϸվ on this file, the AFCO committee asks the reasons for this deadlock and questions the Council and the Commission on whether they would be willing to go back to the negotiating table.
