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

Parliament adopted a resolution on the EU's regulatory fitness and the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, based on the Commission's 2023 and 2024 annual reports on better law-making.

The resolution calls for improving EU law-making by ensuring legislation is proportionate, clear, and evidence-based, and by addressing the shortcomings of the 'one in, one out' approach.

It also highlights the role of national parliaments in safeguarding subsidiarity and the potential of artificial intelligence to enhance the legislative cycle.
