Amendment 138: The Parliament betrayed by its negotiators

,----[ Quote ]
| Negotiations on the Telecoms Package took a 
| worrying turn for citizens rights and freedoms. 
| The European Parliament Delegation was betrayed 
| by its negotiators, led by Catherine Trautmann 
| (S&D) and Alejo Vidal-Quadras (EPP). In total 
| contradiction with the mandate given by their 
| colleagues representing the Parliament, the 
| negotiators unilaterally accepted to work on a 
| proposal by the Council of the EU that negates 
| citizens' rights1. This dangerous proposition is 
| set to replace "amendment 138", voted twice by 
| 88% of the Parliament.
