When could it matter?
The file is a Commission proposal for a Council decision dated 20 July 2026, and the relevant Committee meeting is scheduled to start on 31 August 2026.

The Council would fix the Union’s position for the meeting, to be expressed by Member States acting together, so the committee can adopt its rules and let the Union attend as an observer.
