  1. Objection under Rule 115(2) and (3), and (4)(c) · implementing measure

    Maximum residue levels for acetamiprid

    The draft Commission regulation would raise maximum residue levels for the pesticide acetamiprid in honey to 1 mg/kg, following a previous increase in July 2025. Parliament rejected the objection to this measure, so the Commission's regulation goes ahead as planned. The resolution argued the increase could harm pollinators and human health, citing scientific studies and regulatory classifications.

  1. Application of the ‘safe third country’ concept

    Parliament adopted its position on a proposed EU law amending the rules on the 'safe third country' concept in asylum procedures. The law aims to make the concept's application more flexible and consistent across member states, including by making the 'connection' requirement optional and changing appeal rules. Parliament asks the Commission to refer the matter back if it substantially amends its proposal.

    Simplification of the content and presentation of information to be disclosed concerning environmentally sustainable activities and simplification of certain technical screening criteria for determining whether economic activities cause no significant harm to environmental objectives

    The Commission's delegated regulation simplifies reporting on environmentally sustainable activities and the technical screening criteria for the 'do no significant harm' principle. Parliament rejected the objection, so the Commission measure goes ahead as planned. The regulation narrows the scope of substances of very high concern covered and introduces a materiality threshold for reporting.

    Genetically modified maize NK603

    Parliament objected to a Commission plan to renew the authorisation of genetically modified maize NK603, which is tolerant to glyphosate, for use in food, feed and other products, excluding cultivation. The objection was adopted, so the Commission measure is blocked and the renewal cannot go ahead. Parliament called on the Commission to withdraw its decision and not to renew the authorisation, citing concerns about long-term impacts on biodiversity, food safety, farmers' livelihoods and animal health.

  1. Enhancing police cooperation in relation to the prevention, detection and investigation of migrant smuggling and trafficking in human beings; enhancing Europol’s support to preventing and combating such crimes

    Parliament adopted its position on a proposed EU law to step up police cooperation against migrant smuggling and trafficking in human beings and to strengthen Europol's support in fighting these crimes. The law would make Europol a central hub for criminal information and create a European Centre Against Migrant Smuggling inside the agency, with member states setting up dedicated national structures. Parliament also backed extra funding and 50 new posts for Europol, while asking the Commission to clarify how staff and money would be moved from other programmes.

    Genetically modified maize DAS1131

    The European Parliament adopted a resolution objecting to the Commission's draft decision authorising the placing on the market of products containing genetically modified maize DAS1131. The objection blocks the Commission measure, meaning the maize cannot be authorised for sale in the EU under this procedure. Parliament calls on the Commission to withdraw its draft decision and not to authorise the maize, citing insufficient evidence on long-term impacts.

The adopted text sets an EU-wide domestic target of at least 90% emission reduction by 2040 relative to 1990 levels, with a limited role for permanent removals. It also calls for support for farmers and rural communities, including funding and measures to address fuel and energy costs. Parliament asks the Commission to refer the matter back if it substantially amends its proposal.

  2. Conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction

    Parliament adopted its position on a proposed EU law to conserve and sustainably use marine biodiversity in ocean areas beyond national jurisdiction.

Parliament's position includes amendments to align the text closely with that agreement, covering environmental assessments and area-based management tools. The Council and Commission will now consider Parliament's position before the law can be finalised.
