1. Boosting skills in the Union – opportunities for vocational education and training in times of transition

   ✦ AI The report concerns vocational education and training (VET) and how to boost skills in the Union during transitions, responding to the Commission's Union of Skills initiative and the Herning Declaration. Parliament adopted the text as its official position, setting out its vision for a stronger, more attractive and equally valued vocational education and training sector. The text calls on the Commission and member states to turn parity of esteem between vocational and academic pathways into concrete measures in policy design, learner guidance, mobility, recognition systems, investment in quality and public communication.

   Genetically modified soybean GMB151 x DAS-44406-6

   ✦ AI The text concerns a draft Commission decision to allow products containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified soybean GMB151 x DAS-44406-6 onto the market under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003. Parliament adopted the resolution as its official position, objecting to that draft authorisation. Parliament points to scientific uncertainties, gaps in the risk assessment and the lack of a qualified majority among member states, and has repeatedly said the Commission should not authorise such products in those circumstances.

   Genetically modified soybean MON 94313

   ✦ AI Parliament adopted a resolution on a draft Commission decision that would allow products containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified soybean MON 94313 to be placed on the market under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003. By adopting the text, Parliament made it its official position, stating that the draft decision exceeds the Commission's implementing powers and is not consistent with Union law. Parliament calls on the Commission to withdraw the draft implementing decision and not to authorise the GM soybean, citing insufficient evidence on long-term impacts. It also asks the Commission to submit a legislative proposal to reform the decision-making procedure on genetically modified organisms.

   Genetically modified maize MON 87460

   ✦ AI Parliament adopted a resolution on the draft Commission decision renewing the authorisation for placing on the market products containing, consisting of or produced from genetically modified maize MON 87460. Parliament considers that the draft decision exceeds the Commission's implementing powers and is not consistent with Union law, and it calls on the Commission to withdraw the draft decision. Parliament also calls on the Commission not to renew the authorisation of the GM maize, citing the lack of sufficient evidence on long-term impacts on biodiversity, food safety, farmers' livelihoods and animal health, in line with the One Health approach.

   Maximum residue levels for flupyradifurone

   ✦ AI Parliament considered a draft Commission regulation that would change maximum residue levels for several pesticides, including flupyradifurone, in or on certain products. Parliament adopted the text as its official position, objecting to the draft regulation. Parliament asks the Commission not to raise maximum residue levels for flupyradifurone in rapeseeds while a new risk assessment has not been carried out and a review procedure is underway.

The objection passed, so the Commission measure is blocked and the maize cannot be placed on the market in the EU. Parliament cited concerns about herbicide tolerance, safety uncertainties, and missing long-term studies.

Who backs what

How each group's majority voted on the 33 most recent final roll-call votes about food safety & labelling.

With the result = share of these votes where the group's position matched the outcome (For an adopted text, Against a rejected one). The other columns count the votes by the group's position; Split = no position had a majority among its members. Non-attached members have no group line.

The latest final votes, group by group

Each group's majority position: For, Against, Abstained, or Split. — = the group did not vote.
