Parliament rejected the text, so the delegated regulation does not receive Parliament's approval. The motion argues that the proposed methodologies exclude direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions over the lifecycle of certified activities, such as indirect land-use change and livestock emissions, and conflict with the mandate in Article 4(2), point (a)(iii), of Regulation (EU) 2024/3012.

The report calls for the partnership principle and multilevel governance to be applied more concretely, with structured and permanent involvement of cities in EU decision-making, including in future national and regional partnership plans.

Parliament adopted the text as its official position, meaning it now carries Parliament's political weight as a statement of its stance. The report endorses the direction set by the Commission while identifying areas where it says the Union's response would benefit from reinforcement, including the absence of a binding modal-shift benchmark and a financing response not yet commensurate with the estimated investment need. It invites the Commission to adopt a planning criterion ensuring the network serves all major urban areas of at least 250 000 inhabitants, and invites the European Coordinators to prioritise restoring high-value cross-border links.
