Objection under Rule 115(2) and (3) · implementing measure

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. The objection blocks the Commission measure, meaning the maize cannot be authorised for sale in the EU under this procedure. Parliament calls on the Commission to withdraw its draft decision and not to authorise the maize, citing insufficient evidence on long-term impacts.

Objection under Rule 114(3) · delegated act

InvestEU Fund strategic investments in the field of defence

The Commission delegated regulation of 28 August 2025 broadens the definition of eligible strategic investments under the InvestEU Fund to include more defence technologies and products for military use, and extends eligibility to entities in associated countries or controlled by non-associated countries under certain conditions. Parliament rejected the objection, so the Commission measure goes ahead and the expanded defence investment rules will apply. Parliament had asked the Commission to refrain from using delegated acts to change InvestEU's scope and to submit any further changes as a legislative proposal under the ordinary legislative procedure.
