The European Parliament held a voting day focused on employment, the EU budget, and medical devices, adopting positions on employment guidelines and medical device rules while rejecting the 2025 budget.

  • Employment policy guidelines: Parliament approved the proposed Council decision on employment guidelines, asking the Commission to adjust its proposal accordingly. The Left, Greens, S&D, Renew, and EPP backed it; ECR, Patriots, and ESN opposed.
  • EU 2025 budget: MEPs refused the Council's position on the 2025 EU budget, turning down the proposed spending. The resolution had called for investments in health, housing, environment, Ukraine, and agriculture. EPP supported; others opposed, ECR split.
  • Medical devices regulation: Parliament adopted a resolution urging the Commission to revise the Medical Devices and In Vitro Diagnostic Regulations, aiming to ease manufacturers' burdens, ensure timely availability, and maintain patient safety. The text will be sent to the Council and member states.
