The European Parliament has delayed until next week a decision on whether to resume work on the EU–U.S. trade deal.
Bernd Lange, chair of the Parliament’s Committee on International Trade, said on Monday that no decision was taken to restart ordinary legislative procedures. In a post on X, he confirmed that the Parliament’s negotiating team will meet on February 4 to reassess the situation.

Under the EU–U.S. trade deal agreed in July last year, the European Union would eliminate tariffs on all U.S. industrial goods and introduce tariff-rate quotas for a wide range of U.S. agricultural products. In return, the United States would cap tariffs on most EU exports at 15 percent.
