"We won't be voting today… (We have to) find out where is it hit, or if it is some malfunction," he said.
Local media reported that the parliament session, with 75 bills on the agenda, should reconvene on Nov. 8.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Alphabet unit Google's Google Play Store is the target of an EU antitrust investigation, the company said in a regulatory filing, a move that could expose the U.S. tech giant to another billion-euro fine. Over the last decade, Google has incurred 8.25 billion euros ($8.24 billion) in EU antitrust fines following three investigations into its business practices. "In May 2022, the EC (European Commission) and the CMA (Britain's Competition and Markets Authority) each opened a formal investigation into Google Play's business practices," Google said in a quarterly earnings filing dated Oct. 25.
