  1. Simplification of certain requirements and procedures for chemical products

    The proposal is a regulation amending three existing regulations on chemical products: one on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, one on cosmetic products, and one on fertilising products. Parliament adopted its position on the law at first reading, which means it has set out its stance and will need to agree with the Council before the law is final. Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter to it again if the Commission replaces, substantially amends or intends to substantially amend its proposal, and instructs its President to forward its position to the Council, the Commission and the national parliaments.

    Genetically modified soybean MON 87769

    Parliament voted on a motion for a resolution on a draft Commission decision to renew the authorisation for placing on the market products containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified soybean MON 87769.

It also asks the Commission to require an updated assessment of nutritional and compositional changes, to take account of current risk-assessment methodologies, and to strengthen post-market monitoring.
