    Parliament pays homage to the victims of the floods in Spain

    Parliament pays homage to the victims of the floods in Spain

    President Metsola opened the 13-14 November plenary session in Brussels with a minute of silence for the victims of the flood tragedy in Spain.

    Following the devastating floods that swept through towns in Valencia and other regions in Spain two weeks ago and have taken at least 223 lives, President Metsola led MEPs in a minute’s silence in honour of the victims. She said that Europe was in shock and in mourning, and that the EU was ready to help in any way during the process of recovery and rebuilding, including through more flexibility to get financial assistance moving.

    Changes to the agenda

    Wednesday

    The European Council and Commission statements on Conclusions of the European Council meetings of October and November 2024 are removed from the agenda, due to the absence of the President of the European Council, Charles Michel.

    A Commission statement on the devastating floods in Spain, the urgent need to support the victims, to improve preparedness and to fight the climate crisis is added as the first item on Wednesday’s agenda.

    The European Council and Commission statements on EU-US relations in light of the outcome of the US presidential elections are changed into a Commission statement.

    A Commission statement on Georgia’s worsening democratic crisis following the recent parliamentary elections and alleged electoral fraud is added to the agenda, and MEPs voted to wind up the debate with a resolution to be voted at the next part-session.

    A Commission statement on Deplorable escalation of violence around the football match in the Netherlands and the unacceptable attacks against Israeli football fans is added as fifth item.

    Thursday

    Two requests for urgent procedure are added to the voting session, pursuant to Rule 170 (5), for the following legislative files:

    • Regional Emergency Support: RESTORE,
    • Specific measures under the EAFRD for Member States affected by natural disasters.

    The sitting is extended to 22:00.

    Corrigenda

    Under Rule 251(4) of the EP Rules of Procedure, two corrigenda will be deemed approved unless a request is made by a political group or Members reaching at least the low threshold for them to put to the vote. You can find the relevant list on the plenary website.
