On 22 December 2013 the Council of the EU published a note attaching the final compromise text of the proposed Recovery and Resolution Directive (RRD) agreed with the European Parliament.  Agreement in trialogue had previously been reached on 11 December 2013.

On 20 December 2013, the Permament Representatives Committee (COREPER) of the Council of the EU also published a press release confirming that it had approved (on the Council’s behalf) the compromise text agreed with the Parliament.  The text of the RRD now needs to be formally adopted by the EU Parliament and the Council.
