Amendment of the European Electoral Act allowing Members to vote in plenary by proxy voting during pregnancy and after giving birth

The draft Council decision amends the European Electoral Act to let MEPs who are pregnant or have recently given birth vote by proxy in plenary for up to three months before the expected birth and six months after. Parliament gave its consent to the Council's position, which also says the MEP statute and Parliament's rules should set out the general and detailed conditions for such delegation. The reform will enter into force after member states approve it according to their constitutional requirements.

Union framework for the national calculation of life-cycle global warming potential

The European Parliament voted to reject an objection to a Commission delegated regulation that sets a Union-wide method for calculating the life-cycle global warming potential of buildings. The objection failed, so the Commission measure goes ahead as planned. The Parliament calls on the Commission to submit a new, more limited delegated regulation by the third quarter of 2026.
