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

    Certification methodologies for carbon farming activities

    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.

  2. The upcoming EU anti-corruption strategy

    Parliament adopted a resolution setting out its position on the Commission's planned first comprehensive EU anti-corruption strategy, expected by the end of 2026. The resolution is a non-binding text, so it carries political weight but does not create law. Parliament calls for the strategy to focus on prevention, transparency and integrity, including training for public administrations and measures on lobbying, conflicts of interest and whistleblower protection.

  7. Combating corruption

    Parliament adopted its position on a proposed EU directive to combat corruption, replacing existing rules and updating criminal offences. The directive sets minimum standards for defining and sanctioning corruption, including bribery in public and private sectors, and adds new offences like concealment of corruption proceeds and misconduct in public office. Parliament also strengthens prevention measures, protects whistle-blowers and victims, and aligns rules with the UN Convention against corruption.
