Parliament adopted its first-reading position on a proposed directive setting standards for the reception of applicants for international protection, as a recast of existing rules. The proposal is a recast: it codifies unchanged provisions of earlier acts together with identified amendments, without changing their substance. Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter to it again if the Commission replaces, substantially amends or intends to substantially amend the proposal. An agreement was reached between Parliament and the Council, so Parliament's position corresponds to the final legislative act, Directive (EU) 2024/1346.

Key points

  1. Parliament adopts its position at first reading on the proposed directive laying down standards for the reception of applicants for international protection.
  2. The text is a recast: it codifies the unchanged provisions of earlier acts together with the amendments identified as such in the proposal.
  3. The Consultative Working Party of the legal services of Parliament, the Council and the Commission found no substantive amendments other than those identified in the proposal.
  4. Parliament takes into account the recommendations of that Consultative Working Party.
  5. Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter to Parliament again if it replaces, substantially amends or intends to substantially amend its proposal.
  6. Parliament's position corresponds to the final legislative act, Directive (EU) 2024/1346, as an agreement was reached between Parliament and the Council.

Who is affected

  • Applicants for international protection, who would be covered by the reception standards laid down in the directive.
  • Member states, which would apply the reception standards once the directive is adopted.
