Objection under Rule 115(2), (3) and (4)(c) · implementing measure
Monacolins from red yeast rice
The draft Commission regulation would move monacolins from red yeast rice from Part B to Part A of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006, prohibiting their use in foods, including food supplements. Parliament rejected the text, so it did not oppose adoption of the draft Commission regulation. Parliament had considered that the draft regulation exceeds the implementing powers under Article 8 of that Regulation and fails to respect the principle of proportionality.

Mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers: application EGF/2026/003 FI/Valmet Automotive – Finland
Parliament considered a proposal to release money from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers, following an application from Finland after job losses at Valmet Automotive and five subcontractors and suppliers. Parliament agreed with the Commission that the conditions in the fund's rules are met and that Finland is entitled to a financial contribution of EUR 410 310, which is 60% of the total cost of EUR 683 850. The money covers personalised services such as job-seeking training, job and career coaching, vocational training, occupational safety and competence cards, language training, start-up grants, and incentives and allowances, plus preparatory, management, information and publicity, control and reporting activities. Parliament approved the budget decision, meaning the support can go ahead.

Mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers: application EGF/2026/001 BE/Cora – Belgium
Parliament considered a proposal to mobilise the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers (EGF) for Belgium, following displacements at Cora SA and one supplier, to fund measures such as outplacement, training, skills certification and support for business creation. Parliament agreed with the Commission that the conditions of the EGF Regulation are met and that Belgium is entitled to a financial contribution of EUR 3 821 460, which is 85 % of the total cost of EUR 4 495 836. The contribution is to support the reintegration into the labour market of 1 010 targeted beneficiaries, and the Commission is to transfer the amount from the EGF reserve to the EGF budget line. Parliament stressed the importance of shortening the time between an application and the financing decision, and the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs called for the measures to focus on active labour market policy and personalised services.

Request for the waiver of the immunity of Matteo Ricci
Parliament considered a request from the Public Prosecutor's Office at the Court of Pesaro in Italy to waive the immunity of MEP Matteo Ricci, elected in Italy, in connection with criminal proceedings concerning alleged offences committed while he was Mayor of Pesaro.

Parliament instructed its President to forward the decision immediately to the competent authority of Italy and to Matteo Ricci.

Genetically modified maize DP202216 x NK603 x DAS-40278-9 and its sub-combinations DP 202216 x NK603, DP202216 x DAS-40278-9
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.

Financing of the annual action plan in favour of the United Republic of Tanzania for 2026
Parliament objected to the Commission's plan to finance the 2026 annual action plan for Tanzania, blocking the measure. MEPs argued the draft decision exceeds the Commission's implementing powers and is inconsistent with EU law. They also said the plan fails to address Parliament's earlier concerns about human rights and accountability in Tanzania. Parliament called on the Commission to withdraw the draft and submit a new one that protects basic services, human rights, democracy and civil society.

Parliament instructs its President to forward the decision to the European Council, the Council and the governments of the member states.

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.

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.
