- Faster and Safer Relief of Excess Withholding Taxes
Written by an AI from the text voted on. The outcome and the numbers come from Parliament’s official record.

- Amendment of the EIB’s Statute
Written by an AI from the text voted on. The outcome and the numbers come from Parliament’s official record. The European Parliament approved the proposal to amend the Statute of the European Investment Bank (EIB), which aims to remove the statutory lending limit and replace the maximum 250% gearing ratio with a unanimous decision by the Board of Governors. This decision means Parliament supports the change, allowing the EIB's governing bodies full authority over risk and leverage metrics, and it calls on the Council to notify Parliament if it departs from the approved text. Parliament also asks the Council to consult it again if it intends to substantially amend the text, and it will forward its position to the Council, the Commission, the EIB, and national parliaments.
