  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 115(2) and (3) · implementing measure

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

    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.

  4. Hague Convention (1980) on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction: accession of Cabo Verde

    The proposal authorises EU member states to accept, in the Union's interest, Cabo Verde's accession to the 1980 Hague Convention on international child abduction. Parliament approved the authorisation, meaning member states can now accept the accession, making the Convention effective in cases involving the EU and Cabo Verde.
