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.

amending Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2429 as regards origin labelling for fruit and vegetables originating in the non-self-governing territory of Western Sahara

The Commission proposed a delegated regulation on origin labelling for fruit and vegetables from Western Sahara, a non-self-governing territory distinct from Morocco. Parliament rejected the objection to this measure, so the Commission's regulation will go ahead. The resolution had objected that the labelling could mislead consumers about the true origin, contrary to EU food information rules.

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.

Exceptional trade measures for countries and territories participating in or linked to the Stabilisation and Association Process

The EU is updating its exceptional trade measures for countries linked to the Stabilisation and Association Process, which cover duty suspensions for certain fruits and vegetables and tariff quotas for wine. Parliament adopted its position on the law, endorsing the Commission's proposal to extend these measures until 2030 and to remove an obsolete reference to fisheries. The measures have supported EU-Western Balkans trade, which exceeded EUR 83 billion in 2024, and the extension maintains conditionality on democratic principles and human rights. Parliament asks the Commission to refer the matter back if it substantially amends its proposal, and will forward its position to the Council, Commission, and national parliaments.

Renewing the EU-Africa partnership: building common priorities ahead of the Angola Summit

Parliament adopted a resolution setting out its priorities for the EU-Africa partnership ahead of the EU-African Union summit in Luanda, Angola, on 24 and 25 November 2025. The text calls for making the fight against illegal migration a priority, negotiating readmission agreements with African Union member states, and linking development funds to cooperation on returns. It also demands that the EU's Strategic Partnership with South Africa be conditional on ending discrimination against the Boer minority and compensating victims. Parliament asks the Commission and Council to act on these points and forwards the resolution to EU institutions, member states, the UN, and the African Union.
