   ✦ AI 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.

5. Objection under Rule 114(3) · delegated act

   Certification methodologies for carbon farming activities

   ✦ AI The text concerns a Commission delegated regulation that sets out certification methodologies for carbon farming activities under Regulation (EU) 2024/3012, the Union certification framework for permanent carbon removals, carbon farming and carbon storage in products. Parliament rejected the text, so the delegated regulation does not receive Parliament's approval. The motion argues that the proposed methodologies exclude direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions over the lifecycle of certified activities, such as indirect land-use change and livestock emissions, and conflict with the mandate in Article 4(2), point (a)(iii), of Regulation (EU) 2024/3012.

    ✦ AI Parliament adopted its first-reading position on a proposed regulation amending Regulation (EU) No 472/2013 on economic and budgetary surveillance of euro area member states facing or threatened with serious financial stability difficulties. The proposal updates the surveillance rules to align them with the 2024 reform of the Union's economic governance framework, including the national medium-term fiscal-structural plans, and to simplify and streamline the legislation. It also clarifies when enhanced surveillance applies to member states receiving precautionary financial assistance, takes account of the European Financial Stability Facility no longer engaging in new financing programmes, and clarifies the division of responsibilities between the European Central Bank and national supervisors.

    ✦ AI The proposal would amend the INSPIRE Directive, which set up a European Spatial Data Infrastructure for sharing environmental spatial information between public sector organisations and improving public access to spatial data across the Union. It would simplify the directive by removing redundant technical requirements for network services and data sharing and instead rely on the general data legislation. Parliament adopted its position on the law at first reading, which is the step it takes before it can agree with the Council for the law to be 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.

12. The EU’s approach to corporate tax policy in a changing international environment

    ✦ AI Parliament set out its position on the European Union's approach to corporate tax policy in a changing international environment, a report covering rules such as the global minimum tax for large multinational groups and the anti-tax-avoidance directive. Parliament adopted the text as its official position, so it now carries political weight but does not create law. The report argues that the international tax framework has become too complex and disadvantages European Union companies, and that the Union and its member states should strengthen coordination and speak with one voice in multilateral forums.

Parliament asks for a stamp assuring equivalent conditions to European Quality Schemes for imported products, and for greater autonomy for the outermost regions in the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund, including re-establishing POSEI – Fisheries.
