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

The European Parliament voted on a resolution to block a Commission regulation restricting lead in certain fishing tackle under the EU chemicals law REACH.

MEPs rejected the objection, so the Commission measure will go ahead as planned.

The resolution had argued the restriction lacked evidence on alternatives and proportionality, and asked the Commission to withdraw and re-submit it.
