On 13 July 2026, the Council of the European Union completed a simplified written procedure initiated by document CM 3566/26, adopting replies to questions for written answer submitted by Members of the European Parliament. The procedure concluded without any objections by the deadline, and the adopted replies are listed in document 11407/2026 PE-QE 53.
The simplified written procedure is a standard method used by the Council to adopt non-controversial decisions without a formal meeting. In this case, the replies to MEPs' questions were prepared by the relevant Council working bodies and circulated to member states for approval. The absence of objections indicates consensus among member states on the content of the replies.
The adopted replies cover a range of topics raised by MEPs, though the specific questions and answers are detailed in the referenced document. This procedure allows the Council to efficiently handle parliamentary oversight while maintaining transparency through the publication of the adopted texts.
No prior coverage of this specific procedure exists in recent months, making this a routine administrative update. The document 11407/2026 PE-QE 53 will be made publicly available in the Council's register.
