Tabled a proposal to overhaul the European Union's unpopular 2001 clinical trials directive to cut down on red tape?

Does "tabled a proposal to overhaul the European Union's unpopular 2001 clinical trials directive to cut down on red tape" mean "postponed an advice to check out and repair the European Union's unpopular 2001 clinical trial, because the advice meant to cut down the official process that was less efficient"?

Context:

Between 2007 and 2011, the number of applications for clinical trials in the European Union dropped by 25%. In July last year, the European Commission tabled a proposal to overhaul the European Union's unpopular 2001 clinical trials directive to cut down on red tape, make Europe a more attractive location for clinical research, and improve the transparency of clinical trials information.
