MEPs suggest drawing up an open list of contractors complying with EU standards [...] and adhering to an international code of conduct. This could be followed by a single set of rules for EU institutions that use PSCs to protect EU staff, modelled on UN or NATO practices... The resolution [...] was approved by 50 votes to 6... The full House is to vote on it at the June plenary session in Strasbourg.
