Adopted 433–97–146 · by a large majority - Market stability reserve for the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS): ceasing the invalidation of allowances
The proposal concerns a decision amending Decision (EU) 2015/1814 so that allowances in the Market Stability Reserve (MSR) of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) would no longer be invalidated. Parliament adopted its position at first reading on this law, which means MEPs have set out where they stand and will need to agree with the Council before the law is final. The committee report leaves the Commission's proposal unchanged, but its explanatory statement says this is not a substantive position and that a definitive view would be premature before the wider ETS review expected in mid-July 2026. Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter to it again if the proposal is replaced or substantially amended, and instructs its President to forward its position to the Council, the Commission and national parliaments.

Adopted 367–240–59 · by a clear majority - Market stability reserve for the buildings, road transport and additional sectors
Parliament adopted its first-reading position on a proposed decision that amends Decision (EU) 2015/1814 on the market stability reserve for the buildings, road transport and additional sectors.

Parliament's position includes amendments to the proposal, and the rapporteur proposes shortening the period for starting distribution of allowances from the reserve from two months to 30 days. Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter to it again if the Commission replaces, substantially amends or intends to substantially amend its proposal.

- Brexit Adjustment Reserve
Parliament adopted its position on a proposal to adjust the amounts allocated to member states under the Brexit Adjustment Reserve, a fund set up in 2021 to help them cope with the effects of the UK's withdrawal from the EU. The adjustment is a technical, financial and legal change that aligns the fund's regulation with a reduction agreed during the mid-term revision of the EU's long-term budget, without affecting funds already paid out or transferred. Once the amended regulation is adopted, the Commission can update the implementing decisions that set the final national allocations.

- Enhancing police cooperation in relation to the prevention, detection and investigation of migrant smuggling and trafficking in human beings; enhancing Europol’s support to preventing and combating such crimes
Parliament adopted its position on a proposed EU law to step up police cooperation against migrant smuggling and trafficking in human beings and to strengthen Europol's support in fighting these crimes. The law would make Europol a central hub for criminal information and create a European Centre Against Migrant Smuggling inside the agency, with member states setting up dedicated national structures. Parliament also backed extra funding and 50 new posts for Europol, while asking the Commission to clarify how staff and money would be moved from other programmes.

Adopted 379–248–10 · by a clear majority - Conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction

The Council and Commission will now consider Parliament's position before the law can be finalised.
