The political negotiations between the Council and Parliament (trilogue) on the 102 outstanding EU legislative procedures are due to be completed in just over three weeks, on February 9. Otherwise, there will not be enough time to finalize the legislative texts by the last week of the parliamentary session (22 to 25 April) before the European elections. The finalization of the texts – i.e. translation and final editing by the lawyer-linguists of both chambers – is a prerequisite for adoption in the Council and Parliament. The European elections will take place from June 6 to 9.
