The 751 parliament members will vote on an agreed text during the assembly’s plenary session on December 15-18.

BRUSSELS (EJP---A vote in the European Parliament in Strasbourg on a draft Socialist-initiated resolution calling on the EU to recognize a Palestinian state, scheduled to take place next Thursday, has been postponed to mid-December, a postponement which highlights the division in the parliament on this sensitive issue. The Alliance of Socialists and Democrats (S&D), the second largest political group in the parliament, tabled the resolution which is supported by the Unified European Left Party (GUE/NGL).

Glasovanje u Europskom parlamentu u Strasbourgu o rezoluciji,  predloženoj od socijalista , da EU prizzna Palestinsku državu , odloženo je za sredinu prosinca. Ta odgoda pokazuje koliko je velika podjela u Parlamentu oko tog osjetljivog pitanja. Diskutirati će se o ideji Palestinske države s voditeljicom EU vanjske politike Federicom Mogherini,  ali bez ,  za sada,  donošenja rezolucije  .

 751 članova EU  Parlamenta o tome  će glasati na plenarnoj sjednici zakazanoj za 16-18. prosinac.
