Objection under Rule 114(3) · delegated act

The Commission proposed a delegated regulation to gradually reduce the contribution of high indirect land-use change-risk biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels to renewable energy targets. Parliament adopted an objection, blocking the measure. This means the Commission's delegated regulation will not enter into force. Parliament's objection focuses on the inclusion of soybean as high ILUC-risk, arguing it is not justified by the scientific evidence and would harm EU producers.

The objection was adopted, so the Commission measure is blocked and the authorisation cannot be renewed as proposed. Parliament cited concerns about the assessment of complementary herbicides, Bt toxins, and effects on non-target organisms.

The European Parliament adopted a resolution objecting to the Commission's decision to authorise the placing on the market of products containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified maize DP915635. The objection was adopted, meaning the Commission measure is blocked and the maize cannot be marketed in the EU. Parliament cites concerns about the lack of assessment of the complementary herbicide glufosinate and the toxin IPD079Ea, among other issues.

The European Parliament rejected the Council's position on the draft general budget of the European Union for 2025, which covers all sections of the budget. This means the proposed spending for the financial year 2025 was refused, and the budget as presented by the Council will not be adopted. Parliament's rejection triggers the start of a conciliation process with the Council to reach an agreement on the budget.

The European Parliament approved the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers to support workers made redundant by the closure of Match-Smatch supermarkets in Belgium. The decision releases EU funding for tailored measures such as training, business creation support, and allowances to help 365 former workers reintegrate into the labour market. Parliament agreed with the Commission that Belgium meets the conditions for the financial contribution.

Parliament voted to refuse discharge for the European Council and Council's 2022 budget execution, meaning the spending was not approved. This decision follows the Council's continued refusal to cooperate with Parliament in the discharge procedure since 2009. Parliament calls on the Council to respect its prerogative and to follow up on recommendations, and suggests a Treaty revision could clarify the procedure.

The Parliament objected to a Commission regulation that would keep import tolerances for certain pesticides on some imported crops. The objection was adopted, so the Commission measure is blocked and cannot enter into force. Parliament argues the pesticides are harmful and that imports should meet the same standards as EU products.

Objection under Rule 115(2) and (3), and Rule 115(4)(c) · implementing measure

Parliament objected to a Commission regulation that would have kept EU limits for the pesticide cyproconazole in some imported foods above the default level. The objection was adopted, so the Commission measure is blocked and the existing limits stay in place. Parliament argues the substance is toxic and its approval has expired, so residues should be at the default value.
