Parliament decided not to grant discharge to the Secretary-General of the Council for the implementation of the European Council and Council budget for the 2024 financial year.

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.
