European Parliament
Raül Romeva i Rueda  (Verts/ALE ),
in writing.
– In favour. Own-initiative reports that are not subject of a key debate are currently not considered strategic or to have been drawn up pursuant to EP’s right of initiative and may only be amended in Plenary by the rapporteur to take account of new, objective information or by one tenth of the Members of the EP (74). Groups may only table alternative resolutions. Whether groups may or may not table split, separate and roll-call votes has been a contentious issue and is the reason why this question has been referred to the Committee on Constitutional Affairs. Our group has taken the line that it believes that the tabling of split, separate and roll-call votes should remain possible for groups. We wanted to maintain the possibility for split, separate and roll-call votes for all own-initiative reports, and we got this.
