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

The Commission's delegated regulation simplifies reporting on environmentally sustainable activities and the technical screening criteria for the 'do no significant harm' principle.

Parliament rejected the objection, so the Commission measure goes ahead as planned.

The regulation narrows the scope of substances of very high concern covered and introduces a materiality threshold for reporting.

AI: The text in short Written by AI from the official text — check the source

Parliament objects to the Commission delegated regulation of 4 July 2025 that simplifies taxonomy reporting and technical screening criteria, arguing it weakens the 'do no significant harm' principle and enables greenwashing.
