Context

The committee voted 16–8, with one abstention, to continue work. It rejected a pause pending the full evaluation of the pilots. The consultation report records divided views on the proposal.

What to check

Watch the committee’s announcements and the Curia Vista docket for the next formal step. The referral back to the subcommittee creates no new rights for consumers or suppliers.
