6. Commission's position:
The Commission takes note of the European Parliament’s decision to reject the Commission proposal for a Regulation on a monitoring framework for resilient European forests. Despite regretting this decision, the Commission announced in the Commission Work Programme 2026 its intention to withdraw the proposal, together with 24 other draft laws.
It should be noted that in the context of preparing for its work programme for 2026, the Commission has assessed all proposals pending with the European Parliament and the Council. In its assessment it considered in particular those proposals whose adoption would no longer be in the general interest based on their adoption date, their lack of progress in the legislative process, the potential burden they would incur and their adherence with the most recent Union’s priorities.
The Commission considers that the European Parliament’ rejection of the proposal justifies including the proposal in the list of draft laws to be withdrawn.
In line with the interinstitutional agreement on better law making, both the European Parliament and the Council can now express their views on the draft laws that the Commission intends to withdraw. The Commission will carefully take such views into account before adopting its decision on the final list of proposals to be withdrawn.
