Three Technical Meetings and three Shadows Meetings scheduled in European Parliament over the next 8 days. The vote in the IMCO/LIBE committee is scheduled for Wednesday, 26 April - the vote in plenary for 31 May. The trilogue would start officially in June but mainly fall under the Spanish Presidency.
Where are the negotiations in the European Parliament right now and what are the last contested points?

◾ Batch 11 with Art 5 => largely agreed upon in technical level

Although it will be hard to find an agreement on all open points until 26 April, the political groups agreed to try it at least. Thus, the next 8 days are a 'make it or break it' situation. Everyone needs to compromise and be willing to accept positions that are normally at odds with their political believes. If an agreement is reached, it will be a typical EU package deal (= no one is really happy).
