lpv:spoken text	"As we feared, the tight vote against us in the Committee on International Trade on the crucial Article 5 (review of Member States’ existing bilateral investment treaties (BITs)) and Article 6 (the possibility of withdrawing authorisation for a BIT) of Carl Schlyter’s report on ‘Transitional arrangements for bilateral investment agreements between Member States and third countries’ has been confirmed by the vote in plenary. We had made it easier for Members to vote with us by tabling amendments on Articles 5 and 6, going just halfway towards what we had wanted (and had lost at the committee stage). We thus left it to the S&D Group to re-table the original texts, in order to be perceived as representing the middle ground. Unfortunately, that strategy did not work out. We had a roll-call vote on this and we will analyse whether we nonetheless captured some support in the ALDE Group. We also lost our amendments concerning better transparency rules. We won only one amendment, of minor importance, on the recitals, which was clearly ‘granted’ to us by the EPP and ALDE Groups in order to appease us so that the Greens/EFA position in the final vote would be positive. However, we chose to reject the report (which was approved by 345 to 246 votes)."@en1
