In a fierce debate on the Greek crisis, the EPP Group accused Greek Prime Minister Tsipras of lying to his people that European taxpayers won't pay billions for a Greek debt haircut. The Parliament finally approved guidelines for the EU-US trade talks, with an investor claims system to be revised. And the Parliament backed an EPP Group-drafted plan to stabilise the carbon trading market to save the Emissions Trading System aimed at getting industries to cut CO2 output - an important move prior to the climate summit in December.
