- Revised heat and fuel benchmark values for 2026-2030
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 Directive 2003/87/EC on revised benchmark values for the heat and fuel benchmarks for the period from 2026 to 2030. Parliament adopted its position on the law at first reading, which means it has set out where it stands on the proposal. 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. Parliament instructs its President to forward its position to the Council, the Commission and the national parliaments.

Objection under Rule 114(3) · delegated act
Union framework for the national calculation of life-cycle global warming potentialWritten by an AI from the text voted on. The outcome and the numbers come from Parliament’s official record. The European Parliament voted to reject an objection to a Commission delegated regulation that sets a Union-wide method for calculating the life-cycle global warming potential of buildings. The objection failed, so the Commission measure goes ahead as planned. The Parliament calls on the Commission to submit a new, more limited delegated regulation by the third quarter of 2026.
