Genetically modified soybean GMB151 x DAS-44406-6

The text concerns a draft Commission decision to allow products containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified soybean GMB151 x DAS-44406-6 onto the market under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003. Parliament adopted the resolution as its official position, objecting to that draft authorisation. Parliament points to scientific uncertainties, gaps in the risk assessment and the lack of a qualified majority among member states, and has repeatedly said the Commission should not authorise such products in those circumstances.

Genetically modified soybean MON 94313

Parliament adopted a resolution on a draft Commission decision that would allow products containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified soybean MON 94313 to be placed on the market under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003. By adopting the text, Parliament made it its official position, stating that the draft decision exceeds the Commission's implementing powers and is not consistent with Union law. Parliament calls on the Commission to withdraw the draft implementing decision and not to authorise the GM soybean, citing insufficient evidence on long-term impacts. It also asks the Commission to submit a legislative proposal to reform the decision-making procedure on genetically modified organisms.

Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism: extension of its scope to downstream goods and anti-circumvention measures

The Commission proposal would extend the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) from 1 January 2028 to selected steel- and aluminium-intensive downstream products, and add measures against avoidance behaviour such as enhanced reporting, traceability and stronger powers on misdeclaration. Parliament adopted its position on this law at first reading, which sets out the changes MEPs want to the proposal before it can be agreed with the Council. Parliament also 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.

Market stability reserve for the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS): ceasing the invalidation of allowances

The proposal concerns a decision amending Decision (EU) 2015/1814 so that allowances in the Market Stability Reserve (MSR) of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) would no longer be invalidated. Parliament adopted its position at first reading on this law, which means MEPs have set out where they stand and will need to agree with the Council before the law is final. The committee report leaves the Commission's proposal unchanged, but its explanatory statement says this is not a substantive position and that a definitive view would be premature before the wider ETS review expected in mid-July 2026. 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.

Market stability reserve for the buildings, road transport and additional sectors

Parliament adopted its first-reading position on a proposed decision that amends Decision (EU) 2015/1814 on the market stability reserve for the buildings, road transport and additional sectors. The proposal responds to concerns raised by 19 member states about price uncertainty and volatility in the ETS2, and it smoothens the reserve's trigger mechanism, extends the reserve beyond 2031 and reinforces the price control mechanism. Parliament's position includes amendments to the proposal, and the rapporteur proposes shortening the period for starting distribution of allowances from the reserve from two months to 30 days. 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.

The Commission proposed a regulation to update several EU laws that apply conservation, management and control measures in the convention areas of six regional fisheries management organisations, and to bring rules agreed multilaterally between 2018 and 2024 into EU law. Parliament adopted its position at first reading on this proposal, which sets out its stance for the negotiations with the Council before the law can be final. The committee report includes amendments that add recommendations adopted until 2024 that were missing from the Commission proposal, and the rapporteur asks the Commission to engage with Parliament before future transposition proposals.

Genetically modified cotton MON 88913

The European Parliament objected to the Commission's draft decision renewing the authorisation of genetically modified cotton MON 88913 for products containing, consisting of, or produced from it. The objection was adopted, blocking the Commission measure, so the renewal authorisation does not go ahead. Parliament calls on the Commission to withdraw the draft decision and not to renew the authorisation, citing concerns about herbicide use, biodiversity, and insufficient long-term safety evidence. It also asks the Commission to propose reforming the decision-making procedure for genetically modified organisms.

Genetically modified soybean MON 87708

The European Parliament voted to block the Commission's draft decision renewing the authorisation for genetically modified soybean MON 87708, which is tolerant to the herbicide dicamba. The objection was adopted, meaning the Commission measure is blocked and the authorisation cannot be renewed as proposed. Parliament calls on the Commission to withdraw the draft decision and not to renew the authorisation, citing risks from dicamba use and environmental impacts. It also asks the Commission to propose a reform of the decision-making procedure for genetically modified organisms.

Genetically modified maize MON 87427

Parliament objected to the Commission's draft decision renewing the authorisation of genetically modified maize MON 87427 for food, feed, and other uses except cultivation. The objection was adopted, so the Commission measure is blocked and the authorisation renewal cannot go ahead. Parliament calls on the Commission to withdraw the draft decision and not to renew the authorisation, citing risks from glyphosate use and insufficient long-term evidence. It also asks the Commission to propose reforming the GMO decision-making procedure to address Parliament's objections and the lack of qualified majority among member states.

Framework for achieving climate neutrality

Parliament adopted its position on a proposed law amending the EU climate law to set a 2040 climate target and strengthen the path to climate neutrality by 2050. 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.

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. The law would implement an international agreement protecting high seas ecosystems, which cover nearly two thirds of the world's oceans. 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.
