Europa-Parlamentets mødeperiode i juli var i lovgivningsmæssig henseende lige så over­bebyrdet som de foregående (seks udtalelser som led i samarbejdsproceduren, heraf fem under førstebehandling, og elleve udtalelser i forbindelse med høring af Parlamentet), og des­uden blev Parlamentet rammen om en række vigtige politiske debatter.
While the legislative agenda was just as heavy as in previous months (six opinions under the cooperation procedure, five of which were at first reading, and 11 under the consultation procedure), Parlia­ment's July part-session was also the scene of several major political debates.
