JURI extra meeting 12/5

[James Heald <j.heald@ucl.ac.uk>]

Just looked at the parliament website, there's now an extra meeting up
for JURI, this Monday the 12th.

(Of course I suppose all of you who were in Brussels probably know this
already).

According to the order paper, the first main item on the agenda is
Arlene McCarthy -- Exchange of views on compromise amendments.

No sign of the amendments yet, but presumably they will be appearing at 
http://www.europarl.eu.int/meetdocs/committees/juri/20030512/juri20030512.htm



Rule 130 states the following about compromise amendments for full
EUParl plenary sessions; something similar  may apply for the committee:

-   as a general rule, compromise amendments may not relate to parts of
the text which have not been the subject of amendments prior to the
deadline for tabling amendments;

-   as a general rule, compromise amendments shall be tabled by
political groups, the chairmen, rapporteurs or draftsmen of the
committees concerned or the authors of other amendments;

-   as a general rule, compromise amendments shall entail the withdrawal
of other amendments to the same passage. 


Actual voting on the amendments is presumably still set for the 21st
May, followed by a vote to adopt the completed report on the 22nd.
