To take from the ES so as to fund another new mediatic idea of the Commission is inacceptable.

Decision The UK paper is available at The Coordinators heard the Chair who informed them that owing to the technical complexity and the political implications of the Brexit negotiations he would appreciate feedback from the EMPL Coordinators when invited to contribute to the works of Parliament s Brexit Working Group (chaired by Mr Verhofstadt) agreed that input for future EMPL contributions should be provided by the Coordinators, where necessary in ad hoc meetings.

He proposed to be cautious with the approach and in any case to ensure that the three rapporteurs are on an equal footing during the trialogues agreed to take a decision on the organisation of trilogues on that basis at their next meeting (7 September 2017). 1 =en 2 Provisionally envisaged date: 9 November 2017, p.m. PV\ docx 23/52 PE v01-00

25 2. Points for information/follow-up of previous decisions 2.1. Accessibility Act - exclusive EMPL competences in the IMCO report (MM) EMPL Committee had exclusive competence inter alia on Article 2(3), i.e. the definition of persons with functional limitations. EMPL decided to keep the original definition of the Commission proposal and therefore the EMPL opinion did not contain any amendment related to this definition. In line with the EMPL exclusive competence on this definition the IMCO Committee did not put any amendment to vote on Article 2(3). However, the IMCO Committee deleted this term in all articles of the proposal with the exception of Article 2(3) and in some recitals. The deletion of this term throughout the proposal erodes the EMPL exclusive competence on Article 2(3). Coordinators decision of 15 June: The Coordinators decided that Options A and C be implemented: Option A: to send a letter to CCC suggesting the addition of the words persons with functional limitations to IMCO amendments 17, 81, 99, 121, 179, 184, 187, 189, 193, 195,198, 202, 205, 209, 212, 213, 215, 216, 219 and 220 in order to re-establish the initial attribution of powers and responsibilities [draft letter among the Annexes] Option C: to re-table in plenary the AMs of the EMPL opinion under shared competence that keep the term persons with functional limitations of the original Commission text, i.e. AMs 25, 45, 62, 69, 73, 76, 78, 80, 81, 84, 87, 90, 91, 95, 98, 99, 102, 104, 107, 109 and 11 Update: The letter was sent to CCC in accordance with the Coordinators decision. In its reply IMCO took the view that the decision of the CoP regarding EMPL s exclusive competence has been respected. The IMCO letter can be found among the Annexes. Decision The Coordinators confirmed to put Option C into practice as and when the report would be inscribed on the agenda for the plenary session. PV\ docx 25/52 PE v01-00

The matter will be raised at the CCC of 12 September Decision The Coordinators noted the CULT proposal with interest instructed the Chair to write to the CULT Chair so as to obtain further clarifications instructed the Secretariat to circulate once again the legal opinion from the Legal Service with a view to identifying possible further need for clarification regarding in particular expenditure for ESC activities before the adoption of the legislative proposal. 1 Quote from the CULT proposal: Under this arrangement, EMPL will have exclusive competence under Rule 54 for potential amendments referring exclusively to working conditions and jobs. In all other matters (including all issues relating to the structure or the scope of this proposal), EMPL will have shared competence under Rule 54. inancial matters are the only exception. Here, shared competence under Rule 54 will, however, apply only to financial matters falling within the remit of the EMPL Committee (i.e. article 9, paragraph 2, point (a)) and not to financial matters falling within the competence of the CULT Committee or of other Committees.
