Mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers: application EGF/2025/005 AT/KTM - Austria

Parliament approved the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers to support workers made redundant by KTM in Austria. The decision releases EUR 1 806 624 for personalised services such as career guidance, training, and job-search help for 420 targeted beneficiaries. The funding follows the insolvency of KTM, a motorcycle producer in Upper Austria, and aims to help displaced workers reintegrate into the labour market.

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.

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.

Draft amending budget No 2/2025: update of revenue (own resources) and adjustments to expenditure

The draft amending budget No 2/2025 updates the revenue side of the EU budget, including own resources, and adjusts expenditure for certain items. Parliament approved the Council's position on the draft amending budget, meaning the spending was approved. The update includes lower estimates for customs duties, VAT bases, and plastic waste, but a higher gross national income base, and adjusts the UK contribution and fines. Parliament also calls for new own resources and questions certain expenditure increases and reallocations.

Genetically modified maize DP51291

Parliament objected to a Commission draft decision that would have authorised selling food and feed made from genetically modified maize DP51291 in the EU. The objection was adopted, so the Commission measure is blocked and the maize cannot be marketed in the Union. MEPs cited concerns about the maize's complex engineering, possible allergens, and the herbicide glufosinate linked to it.

Deforestation Regulation - list of countries presenting a low or high risk

Parliament objected to the Commission's list of countries with low or high deforestation risk for products sold in the EU, arguing the data is outdated and the method flawed. The objection was adopted, so the Commission measure is blocked and cannot take effect. Parliament calls for a more accurate, transparent and flexible risk classification, including a possible fourth 'negligible risk' category.

Genetically modified maize DP910521

The European Parliament objected to the Commission's draft decision authorising the placing on the market of products containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified maize DP910521. The objection was adopted, meaning the Commission measure is blocked and the maize cannot be authorised for sale in the EU. The resolution cites concerns about the herbicide glufosinate, the Cry1B.34 toxin, and inadequate risk assessment.

Genetically modified maize MON 95275

Parliament objected to a Commission draft decision that would have authorised the sale of products made from genetically modified maize MON 95275. The objection was adopted, so the Commission measure is blocked and the maize cannot be authorised as proposed. Parliament asks the Commission to withdraw its draft and submit a new one, and to consider risks to biodiversity, food safety and health.

Genetically modified maize MON 89034 × 1507 × NK603

The European Parliament objected to the Commission's draft decision renewing the authorisation of genetically modified maize MON 89034 × 1507 × NK603, which is resistant to glyphosate and produces insecticidal proteins. The objection was adopted, blocking the Commission measure, meaning the renewal authorisation cannot go ahead. Parliament cited concerns about the lack of assessment of complementary herbicides, potential effects of Bt toxins, and impacts on non-target organisms.

Genetically modified maize MON 810

The European Parliament objected to a Commission decision renewing the authorisation of genetically modified maize MON 810 for food and feed products. The objection was adopted, so the Commission measure is blocked and the authorisation does not go ahead.

Genetically modified maize DP202216

The European Parliament objected to a draft Commission decision that would have authorised selling products made from genetically modified maize DP202216, which is resistant to the herbicide glufosinate and has increased yield potential. MEPs adopted the objection, so the Commission measure is blocked and the maize cannot be marketed in the EU. Parliament argued the draft decision exceeded the Commission's powers and was inconsistent with EU law, citing concerns about the herbicide's risks and the lack of a proper assessment.

The objection was adopted, so the Commission measure is blocked and the maize cannot be authorised under this procedure. Parliament calls on the Commission to withdraw its draft and submit a new one to the committee.

Maximum residue levels for carbendazim and thiophanate-methyl

Parliament objected to a Commission regulation that would have kept import tolerance levels for two pesticides, carbendazim and thiophanate-methyl, on certain imported products. The objection was adopted, so the Commission measure is blocked and those maximum residue levels will not be maintained. Parliament argues the substances are harmful and that keeping the levels would put EU farmers at a disadvantage.

Maximum residue levels for cyproconazole

The Parliament objected to a Commission regulation that would have kept maximum residue levels for the pesticide cyproconazole in certain imported foods above the default safety limit. The objection was adopted, so the Commission measure is blocked and the proposed residue levels will not take effect. Parliament argues the substance is toxic and its authorisation has expired, so residues should be set at the default value.
