Genetically modified maize DP51291

✦ AI Parliament objected to a Commission draft decision that would have authorised selling food and feed made from genetically modified maize DP51291 in the EU. The objection was adopted, so the Commission measure is blocked and the maize cannot be marketed in the Union. MEPs cited concerns about the maize's complex engineering, possible allergens, and the herbicide glufosinate linked to it.

Inland waterway transport: River Information Systems (RIS)

✦ AI Parliament adopted its position on a proposal to update EU rules on harmonised river information services (RIS) for inland waterway transport. The position includes changes to reduce administrative burden, improve implementation, and avoid premature interconnection with other systems. It also limits the scope to cross-border waterways, allowing voluntary application elsewhere, and calls for cooperation with third countries.
