- 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.

- EU-San Marino agreement on the automatic exchange of financial account information: Amending Protocol
Parliament approved the Amending Protocol to the EU-San Marino agreement on the automatic exchange of financial account information, which aims to improve international tax compliance. The protocol updates the agreement to align with the revised Common Reporting Standard and EU rules, extending the exchange to electronic money and central bank digital currencies. It also updates data protection references to the GDPR and adds safeguards for personal data, as San Marino lacks an adequacy decision. Parliament asks to be involved earlier in the process and to have more time for its opinion next time.
