The agreement in the EU on protections for riders fails. This was announced by Belgium's rotating EU presidency.
France, Germany, Greece and Estonia, European sources explain, have announced their abstention. Italy, as far as we know, voted in favor of the text, according to sources at the European Commission. The ambassadors of the 27, gathered in Coreper II to give the green light to the agreement on the directive renegotiated on 8 February, did not find the necessary qualified majority.
