Termination of the Voluntary Partnership Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Cameroon on forest law enforcement governance and trade in timber and derived products to the Union.

✦ AI Parliament adopted a resolution backing the termination of the EU-Cameroon Voluntary Partnership Agreement on forest law enforcement, governance and trade in timber. The agreement, in force since 2011, aimed to ensure all Cameroonian timber exports to the EU are legal, but Cameroon has not fully set up the required legality assurance system. Parliament's position supports ending the agreement, as Cameroon has not met its obligations and forest governance has worsened.

Amending Regulation (EU) 2023/956 as regards simplifying and strengthening the carbon border adjustment mechanism

✦ AI Parliament adopted its position on a proposal to simplify and strengthen the carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM), which sets a carbon price on certain imports into the EU. The proposal introduces a de minimis exemption for imports below 50 tonnes, relieving around 90% of importers from CBAM obligations while keeping about 99% of embedded emissions covered. It also streamlines the authorisation process for declarants, simplifies emission calculation procedures, and improves the management of CBAM-related financial liabilities. Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter back if it substantially amends its proposal, and instructs its President to forward the position to the Council, Commission, and national parliaments.
