Maximum residue levels for acetamiprid

The draft Commission regulation would raise maximum residue levels for the pesticide acetamiprid in honey to 1 mg/kg, following a previous increase in July 2025. Parliament rejected the objection to this measure, so the Commission's regulation goes ahead as planned. The resolution argued the increase could harm pollinators and human health, citing scientific studies and regulatory classifications.

InvestEU Fund strategic investments in the field of defence

Parliament rejected the objection, so the Commission measure goes ahead and the expanded defence investment rules will apply. Parliament had asked the Commission to refrain from using delegated acts to change InvestEU's scope and to submit any further changes as a legislative proposal under the ordinary legislative procedure.
