AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source

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.
