- The role of social, economic and environmental standards in safeguarding fair competition for all aquatic food products and improving food security
Parliament adopted a resolution on the role of social, economic and environmental standards in safeguarding fair competition for all aquatic food products and improving food security. The text sets out Parliament's position that aquatic food products entering the EU should meet the same or equivalent standards required of EU fishers and producers, to avoid unfair competition and artificially lowered prices. It also calls for stronger customs controls in ports and airports, full use of the eCatch system for traceability, and registration of all imports of fisheries products from non-cooperative countries. Parliament asks for a stamp assuring equivalent conditions to European Quality Schemes for imported products, and for greater autonomy for the outermost regions in the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund, including re-establishing POSEI – Fisheries.

Adopted 433–97–146 · by a large majority - Market stability reserve for the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS): ceasing the invalidation of allowances
The proposal concerns a decision amending Decision (EU) 2015/1814 so that allowances in the Market Stability Reserve (MSR) of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) would no longer be invalidated. Parliament adopted its position at first reading on this law, which means MEPs have set out where they stand and will need to agree with the Council before the law is final. The committee report leaves the Commission's proposal unchanged, but its explanatory statement says this is not a substantive position and that a definitive view would be premature before the wider ETS review expected in mid-July 2026. Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter to it again if the proposal is replaced or substantially amended, and instructs its President to forward its position to the Council, the Commission and national parliaments.

Adopted 367–240–59 · by a clear majority - Market stability reserve for the buildings, road transport and additional sectors
Parliament adopted its first-reading position on a proposed decision that amends Decision (EU) 2015/1814 on the market stability reserve for the buildings, road transport and additional sectors. The proposal responds to concerns raised by 19 member states about price uncertainty and volatility in the ETS2, and it smoothens the reserve's trigger mechanism, extends the reserve beyond 2031 and reinforces the price control mechanism. Parliament's position includes amendments to the proposal, and the rapporteur proposes shortening the period for starting distribution of allowances from the reserve from two months to 30 days. Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter to it again if the Commission replaces, substantially amends or intends to substantially amend its proposal.

The Commission proposed a regulation to update several EU laws that apply conservation, management and control measures in the convention areas of six regional fisheries management organisations, and to bring rules agreed multilaterally between 2018 and 2024 into EU law. Parliament adopted its position at first reading on this proposal, which sets out its stance for the negotiations with the Council before the law can be final. The committee report includes amendments that add recommendations adopted until 2024 that were missing from the Commission proposal, and the rapporteur asks the Commission to engage with Parliament before future transposition proposals.
