  1. Acceleration of permit-granting for defence readiness projects (Omnibus V)

    Parliament adopted its position on a proposed regulation to speed up the granting of permits for defence readiness projects.

Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter to Parliament again if it replaces, substantially amends or intends to substantially amend its proposal. Parliament instructs its President to forward its position to the Council, the Commission and the national parliaments.

    Parliament set out its position on a proposed regulation that amends several existing EU laws on chemicals so as to remove regulatory and administrative burdens for defence readiness and speed up approval and authorisation procedures for the defence industry. Parliament adopted its position at first reading, which means MEPs have agreed where Parliament stands on the proposal; it usually needs to agree with the Council before a law is final. Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter to Parliament again if it replaces, substantially amends or intends to substantially amend its proposal, and instructs its President to forward its position to the Council, the Commission and the national parliaments.

    Trajectory to decrease the contribution of high indirect land-use change-risk biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels to renewable energy targets

    The European Parliament voted to block a Commission delegated regulation that would have added soybean to the list of high indirect land-use change-risk feedstocks, phasing out soy-based biodiesel from EU renewable energy targets by 2030. The objection passed, meaning the Commission measure is blocked and cannot enter into force. Parliament does not object to the palm oil phase-down or to fixing the certification procedure, and asks the Commission to revise the act accordingly.
