  • The Commission presented its package at a Working Party meeting under the Czech Presidency, and the Swedish Presidency started its work on the package, which it deemed a priority, by devoting two meetings to a broad exchange of views on the aims and directions proposed by the Commission to guide the further technical discussions on the package.
  • The Presidency organised four more meetings on the package to deepen the understanding of the concepts, structure and functioning of the proposed new rules, and to analyse the legal text of the amending provisions to give effect to the new rules.
  • After this analysis, the Presidency presented compromise texts on all three aspects of the proposals, which were welcomed by the delegations as a solid basis  for further work.
  • To steer the further work on this file, on 16 June 2023 the Council held a policy debate on the proposals, which was prepared by the HLWP on 1 June 2023.
