Tied vote on intervention in legal proceedings (interpretation of Rule 159(3))

European Parliament decision of 16 April 2013 concerning circumstances in which there is a tied vote on intervention in legal proceedings (interpretation of Rule 159(3))

(2016/C 045/19)

The European Parliament,

having regard to the letter of 20 March 2013 from the Chair of the Committee on Constitutional Affairs,

having regard to Rule 211 of its Rules of Procedure,

1.

Decides to append the following interpretation to Rule 159(3):

‘Rule 159(3) is to be interpreted as meaning that, where there is a tied vote on a draft recommendation under Rule 128(4) not to intervene in proceedings before the Court of Justice of the European Union, such a tie does not signify the adoption of a recommendation that Parliament should intervene in those proceedings. In such a case, the committee responsible is to be deemed not to have expressed any recommendation.’;

2.

Instructs its President to forward this decision to the Council and the Commission, for information.
