  1. Acceleration of permit-granting for defence readiness projects (Omnibus V)

    Parliament adopted its position on a proposed regulation to speed up the granting of permits for defence readiness projects. This is Parliament's first reading position, and it usually needs to agree with the Council before the 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. Parliament instructs its President to forward its position to the Council, the Commission and the national parliaments.

  2. 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.

    maximum residue levels for flupyradifurone

    Parliament considered a draft Commission regulation that would change maximum residue levels for several pesticides, including flupyradifurone, in or on certain products. Parliament adopted the text as its official position, objecting to the draft regulation. Parliament asks the Commission not to raise maximum residue levels for flupyradifurone in rapeseeds while a new risk assessment has not been carried out and a review procedure is underway.

    Trajectory to decrease the contribution of high indirect land-use change-risk biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels to renewable energy targets

    The European Parliament voted to block a Commission delegated regulation that would have added soybean to the list of high indirect land-use change-risk feedstocks, phasing out soy-based biodiesel from EU renewable energy targets by 2030. The objection passed, meaning the Commission measure is blocked and cannot enter into force. Parliament does not object to the palm oil phase-down or to fixing the certification procedure, and asks the Commission to revise the act accordingly.

    Lead in certain fishing tackle

    The European Parliament voted on a resolution to block a Commission regulation restricting lead in certain fishing tackle under the EU chemicals law REACH. MEPs rejected the objection, so the Commission measure will go ahead as planned.

    Parliament objected to a Commission decision that would have authorised selling food and feed made from genetically modified maize DP202216 x NK603 x DAS-40278-9 and its sub-combinations. The objection passed, so the Commission measure is blocked and the maize cannot be placed on the market in the EU. Parliament cited concerns about herbicide tolerance, safety uncertainties, and missing long-term studies.

    Parliament approved the joint text on air passenger rights, updating rules on compensation and assistance for denied boarding, cancellation, or long delay of flights. The adopted law maintains the existing three-hour delay threshold and compensation amounts, and introduces new rights such as free hand baggage in price displays and free seating for children under 14. It also requires airlines to inform passengers digitally of their compensation rights and to provide free boarding passes, while creating a Union Air Passenger Rights Label.

  2. International passenger transport services by coach and bus in the border regions: cabotage operations between Austria and Switzerland

    Parliament adopted its position on a proposed EU law that would empower Austria to amend its 1958 bilateral road transport agreement with Switzerland, allowing cabotage operations for coach and bus services in their border regions. The authorisation is limited to specific Austrian border districts and requires no discrimination between EU and other carriers and no distortion of competition. Parliament supports the proposal to improve cross-border public transport links and increase travel options for people in the area.

  1. Circularity requirements for vehicle design and management of end-of-life vehicles

    The European Parliament adopted its position on a proposed EU law setting circularity requirements for vehicle design and managing end-of-life vehicles.

Parliament's position includes amendments to clarify rules, cut red tape, and align with other EU laws, while keeping targets realistic for industry. The position now goes to the Council for negotiation before the law can be finalized.

The position updates rules for cars, vans, and commercial vehicles, and adds regular inspections for motor scooters above 50 cm³. Parliament removed proposed mandatory annual inspections for older cars and light vans, and kept remote sensing optional for member states. The position now goes to the Council for negotiation before the law can be finalised.
