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

The European Parliament voted on a resolution to block a Commission regulation that would restrict lead in certain fishing tackle under the EU's chemicals law, REACH. MEPs rejected the objection, so the Commission's measure will go ahead as planned. The resolution had argued that the restriction lacked sufficient evidence and viable alternatives for some tackle types.

Parliament rejected the proposal, meaning it will not proceed under the ordinary legislative procedure. Parliament calls on the Commission to withdraw its proposal and will forward its position to the Council, the Commission, and national parliaments.

Objection under Rule 114(3) · delegated act

Parliament rejected an objection to Commission rules setting certification methods for permanent carbon removal activities under the EU certification framework. The Commission measure therefore goes ahead, meaning those certification methodologies will apply as adopted. The objection had argued the methodologies omit some lifecycle emissions and lack monitoring for biochar storage.

Objection under Rule 114(3) · delegated act

Parliament rejected an objection to the Commission's delegated regulation updating the EU list of projects of common and mutual interest for energy infrastructure. The objection failed, so the Commission measure goes ahead and the list remains in force. The resolution had argued the list under-prioritised renewables and electrification, and included fossil-fuel and CO2 projects, as well as projects linked to corruption and human-rights concerns.

Objection under Rule 114(3) · delegated act

The Commission's delegated regulation updates Solvency II technical rules for insurers and reinsurers, covering risk margin, securitisation capital charges, and other prudential requirements. Parliament rejected the objection, so the regulation enters into force as planned. The resolution had argued the Commission overstepped its mandate by lowering risk margin and securitisation charges without evidence, and by omitting crypto-asset and fossil-fuel capital rules.
