  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. This is Parliament's first reading position, and it usually needs to agree with the Council before the 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. Parliament instructs its President to forward its position to the Council, the Commission and the national parliaments.

  2. Defence readiness and facilitating defence investments and conditions for the defence industry (Omnibus V)

    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.

  1. Objection under Rule 114(3) · delegated act

    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.

    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.

  2. Structure and rates of excise duty applied to tobacco and tobacco related products (recast)

    The proposal sets EU-wide minimum excise duty rates for tobacco and extends rules to novel tobacco-related products.

    The draft Council decision amends the European Electoral Act to let MEPs who are pregnant or have recently given birth vote by proxy in plenary for up to three months before the expected birth and six months after.

The reform will enter into force after member states approve it according to their constitutional requirements.
