EN rendezvous clause / FR clause de rendez-vous / HU halasztási záradék / DE Überprüfungsklausel
Sometimes, when EU leaders are discussing an important legal document, they cannot reach agreement on a particular issue. So they may decide to come back to this subject at a later date. Their decision is made official by putting it in writing and including it as a clause in the legal text they are discussing. This type of clause is sometimes known as a ’rendezvous clause’.
