- Simplification of certain requirements and procedures for chemical products
Written by an AI from the text voted on. The outcome and the numbers come from Parliament’s official record. 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.

Objection under Rule 114(3) · delegated act
Simplification of the content and presentation of information to be disclosed concerning environmentally sustainable activities and simplification of certain technical screening criteria for determining whether economic activities cause no significant harm to environmental objectivesWritten by an AI from the text voted on. The outcome and the numbers come from Parliament’s official record. The Commission's delegated regulation simplifies reporting on environmentally sustainable activities and the technical screening criteria for the 'do no significant harm' principle. Parliament rejected the objection, so the Commission measure goes ahead as planned. The regulation narrows the scope of substances of very high concern covered and introduces a materiality threshold for reporting.
