1. Escalation of Russian strikes in the EU, particularly on Black Sea shipping, threatening human life, regional stability and food security

   ✦ AI The text is a motion for a resolution on the escalation of Russian strikes in the EU, particularly on Black Sea shipping, which the document says threatens human life, regional stability and food security. Parliament adopted the text as its official position, meaning it states Parliament's stance on the attacks on merchant shipping in the Black Sea and their consequences. The document records that the attacks have moved from the waters off Odesa to the exclusive economic zones of Romania and Bulgaria and now to the territorial waters of a member state, and that investigations are ongoing with no responsibility officially attributed.

3. Cohesion policy – the driving force in implementing the EU agenda for cities

   ✦ AI The report concerns cohesion policy as the main framework for integrated urban development and welcomes the Commission's EU agenda for cities, which aims to strengthen the urban dimension of EU policies. Parliament adopted the text as its official position, so it now states Parliament's view that cities should be recognised as genuine actors in EU policy-making, not only as implementers. The report calls for the partnership principle and multilevel governance to be applied more concretely, with structured and permanent involvement of cities in EU decision-making, including in future national and regional partnership plans. It also asks for simpler procedures and welcomes the idea of an EU platform for cities that should evolve into a one-stop shop for urban authorities, with particular focus on small and medium-sized cities, island cities and rural areas.
