Implementation of “passerelle” clauses in the EU Treaties

2022/2142(INI)·9th term·AFCO / AFET / ECON·INI - Own-initiative procedure·CompletedProcedure completed
Subjects: Treaties in general
Rapporteur (the Member appointed to lead Parliament's work on this text): PISAPIA Giuliano (S&D)
Summary

An own-initiative report on implementing the "passerelle" clauses in the EU Treaties. The amendments focus on unanimity voting in the Council on taxation, the general passerelle clauses under Article 48(7) of the Treaty on European Union and a possible move to qualified majority voting under Articles 113 and 115 TFEU, the misuse of national vetoes, and proposals such as the CCCTB, DEBRA and BEFIT; some support this, others oppose it.

28 roll-call votes

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
