EU-US Deal Faces 'Freeze' in European Parliament

The ratification of the EU-US deal by the European Parliament appears to be at risk, as the relevant International Trade Committee (INTA) is expected to announce that it will not proceed with a vote on the agreement next week, as previously scheduled. The Committee President, Bernd Lange, will make statements regarding EU-US trade relations, and a press release clarifying the next steps is expected. The European Parliament has not yet adopted an official position on the agreement.
