      The European Parliament,
   
   
               —
            
            
               having regard to the letter of 20 March 2013 from the Chair of the Committee on Constitutional Affairs,
            
         
               —
            
            
               having regard to Rule 211 of its Rules of Procedure,
            
         
            
               1.
            
            
               Decides to append the following interpretation to Rule 159(3):
               ‘Rule 159(3) is to be interpreted as meaning that, where there is a tied vote on a draft recommendation under Rule 128(4) not to intervene in proceedings before the Court of Justice of the European Union, such a tie does not signify the adoption of a recommendation that Parliament should intervene in those proceedings. In such a case, the committee responsible is to be deemed not to have expressed any recommendation.’;
            
         
            
               2.
            
            
               Instructs its President to forward this decision to the Council and the Commission, for information.
