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

The European Parliament voted on a resolution to block a Commission regulation restricting lead in certain fishing tackle under the EU chemicals law REACH. MEPs rejected the objection, so the Commission measure will go ahead as planned. The resolution had argued the restriction lacked evidence on alternatives and proportionality, and asked the Commission to withdraw and re-submit it.

Objection under Rule 114(3) · delegated act

Objection under Rule 114(3) · delegated act

The Commission's delegated regulation amends the EU list of projects of common interest and projects of mutual interest for energy infrastructure.

Objection under Rule 114(3) · delegated act

The European Parliament voted on a resolution to object to a Commission delegated regulation that amends the Solvency II prudential rules for insurance and reinsurance, covering areas such as technical provisions, risk margin, securitisation, and crypto-assets. Parliament rejected the objection, meaning the Commission measure goes ahead as planned.

Objection under Rule 114(3) · delegated act

The Commission's delegated regulation simplifies reporting on environmentally sustainable activities and the technical screening criteria for the 'do no significant harm' principle.

The regulation narrows the scope of substances of very high concern covered and introduces a materiality threshold for reporting.

Parliament had asked the Commission to refrain from using delegated acts to change InvestEU's scope and to submit any further changes as a legislative proposal under the ordinary legislative procedure.
