An EU health workforce crisis plan: sustainability of healthcare systems and employment and working conditions in the healthcare sector

The report responds to a health workforce crisis in the Union, where shortages of doctors, nurses, carers and other healthcare professionals are deepening and becoming structural. It sets out measures under six pillars: employment and working conditions, regional inequalities in access to care, recruitment and training, digital transformation, financing and planning, and ethical labour models. Parliament adopted the text as its official position, meaning it states Parliament's stance on how to address the crisis and support sustainable healthcare systems. The report calls for better implementation of the Professional Qualifications Directive, expanded education and training pathways, and use of ESF+ and cohesion funds to support national plans.

Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism: extension of its scope to downstream goods and anti-circumvention measures

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.

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.
