The next vote will take place on December 11 during the plenary session. The committee will present the results of its work and put its resolution to a vote by all Members of the European Parliament.
If the resolution were adopted, Europe would establish a legislative framework for regulating medical cannabis. This framework would apply to member states without necessarily being binding. For details on the proposed text, you can Read our previous analysis.
