- 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.

Adopted 433–97–146 · by a large majority - Market stability reserve for the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS): ceasing the invalidation of allowances
The proposal concerns a decision amending Decision (EU) 2015/1814 so that allowances in the Market Stability Reserve (MSR) of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) would no longer be invalidated. Parliament adopted its position at first reading on this law, which means MEPs have set out where they stand and will need to agree with the Council before the law is final. The committee report leaves the Commission's proposal unchanged, but its explanatory statement says this is not a substantive position and that a definitive view would be premature before the wider ETS review expected in mid-July 2026. Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter to it again if the proposal is replaced or substantially amended, and instructs its President to forward its position to the Council, the Commission and national parliaments.

Parliament adopted its first-reading position on a proposed decision that amends Decision (EU) 2015/1814 on the market stability reserve for the buildings, road transport and additional sectors. The proposal responds to concerns raised by 19 member states about price uncertainty and volatility in the ETS2, and it smoothens the reserve's trigger mechanism, extends the reserve beyond 2031 and reinforces the price control mechanism. Parliament's position includes amendments to the proposal, and the rapporteur proposes shortening the period for starting distribution of allowances from the reserve from two months to 30 days. Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter to it again if the Commission replaces, substantially amends or intends to substantially amend its proposal.
