On 20 November 2012 the European Parliament voted in favour of the Legal Affairs' Committee amendments to the European Commission's proposal to reform the Brussels Regulation. The proposals for arbitration are set out in our earlier blog post here.
The draft legislation will now be sent to the Council of the EU for final adoption. This is expected to take place during December at the next Council of Justice Ministers.
