AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source
The Commission's delegated regulation amends the EU list of projects of common interest and projects of mutual interest for energy infrastructure.
Parliament rejected the objection to this measure, so the Commission's updated list will go ahead.
The resolution had argued the list under-prioritises renewables and electrification, and includes fossil fuel projects linked to corruption and human rights concerns.

Parliament objects to the Commission's delegated regulation updating the EU list of projects of common interest and projects of mutual interest, saying it does not prioritize renewables and electrification, includes fossil fuel projects linked to corruption, human rights abuses and war, and lacks transparency.
