Objection under Rule 114(3) · delegated act
Trajectory to decrease the contribution of high indirect land-use change-risk biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels to renewable energy targetsWritten by an AI from the text voted on. The outcome and the numbers come from Parliament’s official record. The European Parliament voted to block a Commission delegated regulation that would have added soybean to the list of high indirect land-use change-risk feedstocks, phasing out soy-based biodiesel from EU renewable energy targets by 2030. The objection passed, meaning the Commission measure is blocked and cannot enter into force. Parliament does not object to the palm oil phase-down or to fixing the certification procedure, and asks the Commission to revise the act accordingly.

Objection under Rule 114(3) · delegated act
Specifying a methodology for assessing greenhouse gas emissions savings from low-carbon fuelsWritten by an AI from the text voted on. The outcome and the numbers come from Parliament’s official record. Parliament voted on a resolution objecting to a Commission delegated regulation that sets a methodology for assessing greenhouse gas emissions savings from low-carbon fuels. MEPs rejected the text, meaning Parliament did not block the regulation and it can proceed. The resolution had called on the Commission to withdraw the regulation and submit a new one by mid-2026 with revised rules.
