Later on Wednesday, EPP group leader Manfred Weber met with his socialist counterpart Iratxe Garc\u00eda and Renew head Val\u00e9rie Hayer to try to resolve the dispute. That meeting ended with no agreement, three Parliament officials familiar with the talks told POLITICO.<\/p>\n
The risk of being frozen out by a rightward lurch ultimately convinced the Socialists to accept an alternative position on the simplification bill that they had previously rejected.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really happy that it put pressure on S&D, Renew and the Greens, and that they came back and accepted my proposal,\u201d Warborn told POLITICO.<\/p>\n
The S&D, meanwhile, were left seething. \u201cWhile negotiations at leaders level were happening, the EPP was presenting\u00a0 compromises with the far right. This is unacceptable and shows the contradictions between EPP at the [European Parliament] and [the] Berlaymont,\u201d said Maceiras.<\/p>\n
The outcome prompted MEP Lara Wolters, who had led the negotiations on behalf of S&D until now, to quit. \u201cUnder the current circumstances my position as shadow rapporteur on the Omnibus I has become untenable,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Pascal Canfin, lead negotiator for Renew Europe, welcomed the agreement on the first omnibus proposal. \u201cWe always aimed for a VDL coalition on the file,\u201d he said, referring to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who herself hails from the EPP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Later on Wednesday, EPP group leader Manfred Weber met with his socialist counterpart Iratxe Garc\u00eda and Renew head…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":483849,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5174],"tags":[2437,53958,2000,299,5187,1105,160305,30995,809,14921,5111,48,6648,3695,11587,1220,41048],"class_list":{"0":"post-483848","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-eu","8":"tag-companies","9":"tag-due-diligence","10":"tag-eu","11":"tag-europe","12":"tag-european","13":"tag-far-right","14":"tag-jorgen-warborn","15":"tag-manfred-weber","16":"tag-negotiations","17":"tag-omnibus","18":"tag-parliament","19":"tag-rights","20":"tag-supply-chains","21":"tag-sustainability","22":"tag-transparency","23":"tag-ursula-von-der-leyen","24":"tag-valerie-hayer"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115340476684777483","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483848","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=483848"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483848\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/483849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=483848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=483848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=483848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
