6th Legislature / first reading
As you can see in the above descriptions the file was first attributed to EP’s ENVI committee on 11
March 2008. The first discussion without documents took place on 24 June 2008 (agenda point 15),
where it was decided to draft a report until 6 October 2008 for vote it in committee in January 2009:

A Council document of 15 June 2009 describes the development of the file until that date:
http://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-10641-2009-INIT/en/pdf : “
On 16 March 2009,
the European Parliament rapporteur, Ms Renate Sommer, requested the Environment, Public Health
and Food Safety Committee to produce a new (second) draft report in an attempt to streamline the
more than 1000 amendments that were submitted regarding this important and complex file. The
Committee approved the rapporteur's request, so the European Parliament' first reading will restart
at the beginning of the next legislative term.”
