  1. Conclusion, on behalf of the European Union, of the United Nations Convention on Transparency in Treaty-based Investor-State Arbitration

    Parliament gave its consent to the EU concluding the United Nations Convention on Transparency in Treaty-based Investor-State Arbitration. The Convention increases public access to documents and hearings in investor-state disputes and lets civil society participate. It applies transparency rules to investment treaties signed before 1 April 2014, covering about 1,200 agreements involving EU member states. Ratification is a first step towards broader reform of investment dispute settlement, including a possible Multilateral Investment Court.

  1. Specific measures under the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) for Member States affected by natural disasters

    The proposal amends the EU regulation on rural development to give extra help to member states hit by natural disasters since 1 January 2024. Parliament adopted its position, endorsing the Commission's plan to provide targeted liquidity, including lump sums up to EUR 42,000 per beneficiary. Parliament asks the Commission to refer the matter back if it changes the proposal substantially.

  2. Regional Emergency Support: RESTORE

    Parliament adopted its position on the proposed law to set up the Regional Emergency Support to Reconstruction (RESTORE), which amends rules on EU funds to help member states recover from natural disasters. The law aims to support reconstruction and provide basic material assistance to affected citizens, following floods and wildfires in several EU countries in September 2024. Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter back if it substantially amends its proposal, and to forward the position to the Council and national parliaments.

  3. Forest reproductive material of the ‘tested’ category

    The law updates EU rules on importing forest reproductive material, adding the 'tested' category to the existing equivalence regime for third countries. Parliament adopted its position, extending the regime to cover 'tested' material and updating labelling and authority names. The rules apply from 1 January 2025, with the Commission to be informed if its proposal is substantially amended.

  4. Discontinuation of the European ODR Platform

    The European Parliament approved the Council's position on a regulation that repeals the EU law setting up the European Online Dispute Resolution Platform and amends related consumer protection rules. This means the platform will be discontinued, and the regulation will be adopted as agreed, ending the current system for resolving online disputes through that platform. Parliament instructed its President and Secretary-General to sign the act and arrange for its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

  1. Objection under Rule 115(2) and (3) · implementing measure

    Genetically modified maize MON 89034 × 1507 × NK603

    The European Parliament objected to the Commission's draft decision renewing the authorisation of genetically modified maize MON 89034 × 1507 × NK603, which is resistant to glyphosate and produces insecticidal proteins. The objection was adopted, blocking the Commission measure, meaning the renewal authorisation cannot go ahead. Parliament cited concerns about the lack of assessment of complementary herbicides, potential effects of Bt toxins, and impacts on non-target organisms.

    Genetically modified maize MON 810

    The European Parliament objected to a Commission decision renewing the authorisation of genetically modified maize MON 810 for food and feed products. The objection was adopted, so the Commission measure is blocked and the authorisation does not go ahead. Parliament considers the decision exceeds the Commission's powers and is inconsistent with EU law, and calls on the Commission to repeal it.

    Genetically modified maize DP915635

    Parliament objected to a Commission decision authorising the sale of products made from genetically modified maize DP915635. The objection was adopted, so the Commission measure is blocked and the maize cannot be marketed in the EU. Parliament cited concerns about the herbicide glufosinate and the toxin IPD079Ea, and called for more assessment.

    Parliament objected to a Commission decision authorising the sale of products made from genetically modified maize DP23211. The objection was adopted, so the Commission measure is blocked and the maize cannot be marketed in the EU. MEPs argued the decision went beyond the Commission's powers and was inconsistent with EU law on genetically modified food and feed.

    Genetically modified maize DP202216

    The European Parliament objected to a draft Commission decision that would have authorised selling products made from genetically modified maize DP202216, which is resistant to the herbicide glufosinate and has increased yield potential. MEPs adopted the objection, so the Commission measure is blocked and the maize cannot be marketed in the EU. Parliament argued the draft decision exceeded the Commission's powers and was inconsistent with EU law, citing concerns about the herbicide's risks and the lack of a proper assessment.

    Genetically modified maize MON 94804

    Parliament objected to a Commission draft decision that would have authorised selling products made from genetically modified maize MON 94804, engineered to reduce plant height. The objection was adopted, so the Commission measure is blocked and the maize cannot be authorised under this procedure. Parliament calls on the Commission to withdraw its draft and submit a new one to the committee.

  1. Electronic value added tax exemption certificate

    The proposal replaces the paper value added tax exemption certificate with an electronic version for transactions such as diplomatic supplies and NATO forces. Parliament adopted its position approving the Commission proposal, meaning it backs the move to a digital certificate. Parliament asks the Council to notify it if it intends to depart from the approved text and to consult it again on substantial amendments.

  2. Faster and Safer Relief of Excess Withholding Taxes

    Parliament approved the Council's draft directive on faster and safer relief of excess withholding taxes, which introduces a common EU digital tax residence certificate and two fast-track procedures for tax refunds. The directive also sets reporting obligations for financial intermediaries and exempts member states with comprehensive relief-at-source systems and small financial markets from certain requirements. Parliament calls on the Council to notify it if it intends to depart from the approved text and to consult Parliament again if it makes substantial amendments.

  3. Amendment of the EIB’s Statute

    The European Parliament approved the proposal to amend the Statute of the European Investment Bank (EIB), which aims to remove the statutory lending limit and replace the maximum 250% gearing ratio with a unanimous decision by the Board of Governors. This decision means Parliament supports the change, allowing the EIB's governing bodies full authority over risk and leverage metrics, and it calls on the Council to notify Parliament if it departs from the approved text. Parliament also asks the Council to consult it again if it intends to substantially amend the text, and it will forward its position to the Council, the Commission, the EIB, and national parliaments.

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

    Maximum residue levels for carbendazim and thiophanate-methyl

    Parliament objected to a Commission regulation that would have kept import tolerance levels for two pesticides, carbendazim and thiophanate-methyl, on certain imported products. The objection was adopted, so the Commission measure is blocked and those maximum residue levels will not be maintained. Parliament argues the substances are harmful and that keeping the levels would put EU farmers at a disadvantage.

    Maximum residue levels for cyproconazole

    The Parliament objected to a Commission regulation that would have kept maximum residue levels for the pesticide cyproconazole in certain imported foods above the default safety limit. The objection was adopted, so the Commission measure is blocked and the proposed residue levels will not take effect. Parliament argues the substance is toxic and its authorisation has expired, so residues should be set at the default value.
