German MEPs want vote delayed, but NGOs fear this could doom proposal.

Centre-right German MEPs are pushing for a delay in the European Parliament vote on new European Union tobacco restrictions, scheduled for 10 September, according to Parliament sources. 

Several centre-right lawmakers including German MEP Herbert Reul have asked for a delay in the vote, saying there is not enough time to review the proposal after MEPs return from their summer break next week. 

Another reason given for a delay is that many German MEPs will be absent because of the upcoming German election. There is also apprehension about what political impact the vote could have just ahead of the German poll, scheduled for 22 September.
