    AI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

    The main substantive change is that the Parliament now calls for recognizing low ILUC-risk soybean instead of reviewing Cerrado carbon stock classification. A recital raising concerns about Cerrado classification is removed. The other changes are formal or wording: recital A is reworded and recitals are renumbered.
