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

Parliament adopted its position on a proposed EU law to establish a digital euro, a central bank digital currency for retail payments by consumers and businesses.

The digital euro would complement cash and offer a sovereign, secure and accessible pan-European payment option, reducing reliance on non-European providers.

Parliament asks the Commission to refer the matter back if it substantially amends the proposal, and forwards its position to the Council and national parliaments.
