AI: The day in brief Written by AI from the official text — check the source

Parliament adopted positions on five new EU laws and approved a budget fund, covering deforestation rules, disaster aid, and support for displaced workers.

  • Deforestation Regulation: Parliament backed the law postponing the application of deforestation rules, with S&D, Renew, EPP, ECR, Patriots and ESN in favour, while The Left and Greens opposed.
  • Rural development disaster aid: MEPs approved extra help for member states hit by natural disasters since January 2024, including lump sums up to EUR 42,000 per beneficiary, with all groups backing it.
  • Regional Emergency Support: RESTORE: Parliament adopted its position on the RESTORE law to help EU countries recover from natural disasters, supporting reconstruction and material aid after floods and wildfires.
  • Forest reproductive material: The new rules extend the equivalence regime for third countries to 'tested' forest reproductive material, updating labelling and authority names, with S&D, Renew, EPP, ECR, Patriots and ESN in favour.
  • Globalisation Fund for Belgium: Parliament approved EU funding to support 632 workers made redundant in Belgium's Limburg machinery and paper sectors, offering guidance, training, and job-search help.
