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

✦ AI 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.

Genetically modified maize DP202216 x NK603 x DAS-40278-9 and its sub-combinations DP 202216 x NK603, DP202216 x DAS-40278-9

✦ AI Parliament objected to a Commission decision that would have authorised selling food and feed made from genetically modified maize DP202216 x NK603 x DAS-40278-9 and its sub-combinations. The objection passed, so the Commission measure is blocked and the maize cannot be placed on the market in the EU. Parliament cited concerns about herbicide tolerance, safety uncertainties, and missing long-term studies.

Union framework for the national calculation of life-cycle global warming potential

✦ AI The European Parliament voted to reject an objection to a Commission delegated regulation that sets a Union-wide method for calculating the life-cycle global warming potential of buildings. The objection failed, so the Commission measure goes ahead as planned. The Parliament calls on the Commission to submit a new, more limited delegated regulation by the third quarter of 2026.

Union list of projects of common interest and projects of mutual interest

✦ AI The Commission's delegated regulation amends the EU list of projects of common interest and projects of mutual interest for energy infrastructure. Parliament rejected the objection to this measure, so the Commission's updated list will go ahead. The resolution had argued the list under-prioritises renewables and electrification, and includes fossil fuel projects linked to corruption and human rights concerns.
