  1. Erasmus+ programme 2028-2034

    The proposal would set up the Erasmus+ programme for the period 2028-2034 and repeal Regulations (EU) 2021/817 and (EU) 2021/888. Parliament adopted its position on the law at first reading, which is the starting point for agreeing the final text with the Council. 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, and instructs its President to forward its position to the Council, the Commission and the national parliaments.

    The draft law would set up the Pericles V programme, an exchange, assistance and training programme for the protection of the euro against counterfeiting for the period 2028-2034, and repeal Regulation (EU) 2021/840. Parliament adopted its position on the law at first reading, which means it has set out where it stands and usually needs to agree with the Council before the law is final. 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, and instructs its President to forward its position to the Council, the Commission and the national parliaments.

  1. Protection of adults: jurisdiction, applicable law, recognition and enforcement of measures and cooperation

    The draft regulation sets out European Union rules on which country's authorities handle, and which law applies to, protection measures for adults and their representatives in cross-border situations. Parliament adopted the text as its official position at first reading, which carries political weight but does not create law. The report aims to bring the framework of the 2000 Hague Convention on the International Protection of Adults into EU law for legal clarity, aligned with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and centred on personal autonomy. 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 the national parliaments.

    Certification methodologies for carbon farming activities

    The text concerns a Commission delegated regulation that sets out certification methodologies for carbon farming activities under Regulation (EU) 2024/3012, the Union certification framework for permanent carbon removals, carbon farming and carbon storage in products. Parliament rejected the text, so the delegated regulation does not receive Parliament's approval. The motion argues that the proposed methodologies exclude direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions over the lifecycle of certified activities, such as indirect land-use change and livestock emissions, and conflict with the mandate in Article 4(2), point (a)(iii), of Regulation (EU) 2024/3012.

    Monacolins from red yeast rice

    The draft Commission regulation would move monacolins from red yeast rice from Part B to Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006, prohibiting their use in foods, including food supplements. Parliament rejected the text, so it did not oppose adoption of the draft Commission regulation. Parliament had considered that the draft regulation exceeds the implementing powers under Article 8 of that Regulation and fails to respect the principle of proportionality.

  2. Protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens, mutagens or reprotoxic substances at work

    Parliament adopted its first-reading position on a proposal to amend Directive 2004/37/EC by adding substances and setting limit values in its Annexes I, III and IIIa. The text supports the sixth revision of the carcinogens and mutagens directive, which extends protection to workers in sectors such as manufacturing, construction, healthcare, emergency services, waste management and the circular economy. It includes binding occupational exposure limit values for cobalt and inorganic cobalt compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, isoprene and 1,4-dioxane, and covers welding fumes containing carcinogenic, mutagenic or reprotoxic substances. 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.

  3. Simplification of certain requirements for spatial information infrastructure in the Union (INSPIRE) (Omnibus VIII on environmental legislation)

    The proposal would amend the INSPIRE Directive, which set up a European Spatial Data Infrastructure for sharing environmental spatial information between public sector organisations and improving public access to spatial data across the Union. It would simplify the directive by removing redundant technical requirements for network services and data sharing and instead rely on the general data legislation. Parliament adopted its position on the law at first reading, which is the step it takes before it can agree with the Council for the law to be final. 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.

    Parliament considered a request from the Public Prosecutor's Office at the Court of Pesaro in Italy to waive the immunity of MEP Matteo Ricci, elected in Italy, in connection with criminal proceedings concerning alleged offences committed while he was Mayor of Pesaro. Parliament decided to waive Matteo Ricci's immunity, meaning the Italian authorities can proceed with the request, which concerns the seizure, reading and possible use of correspondence between him and a collaborator. Parliament instructed its President to forward the decision immediately to the competent authority of Italy and to Matteo Ricci.

    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.

    Financing of the annual action plan in favour of the United Republic of Tanzania for 2026

    Parliament objected to the Commission's plan to finance the 2026 annual action plan for Tanzania, blocking the measure. MEPs argued the draft decision exceeds the Commission's implementing powers and is inconsistent with EU law. They also said the plan fails to address Parliament's earlier concerns about human rights and accountability in Tanzania. Parliament called on the Commission to withdraw the draft and submit a new one that protects basic services, human rights, democracy and civil society.
