Electricity market: Parliament adopts position

At the second attempt, the plenary of the EU Parliament adopted the report of the Industry Committee on electricity market reform on Thursday. On Monday, ECR and Left as well as several individual MEPs had initially voted against the start of trilogue negotiations. However, the majority of S&D, EPP, Renew and Greens, which had negotiated the compromise in ITRE, rejected the objection yesterday. 366 votes in favor were offset by 186 against, with ECR, Left and ID together holding only 166 seats.
