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

Parliament adopted positions on two tax files and blocked two genetically modified maize authorisations, shaping EU law on digital VAT reporting and GMO market access.

  • VAT digital age rules: Parliament approved the directive introducing real-time digital reporting via e-invoicing, updated platform economy rules, and a single VAT registration for cross-border sales, asking the Council to consult it again on changes.
  • Tax administrative cooperation: MEPs backed the proposal simplifying reporting for multinationals under the global minimum tax, supporting a central filing system and standard form to cut red tape, with a similar consultation request.
  • Genetically modified maize DP910521: Parliament blocked the Commission's draft authorisation for maize DP910521, citing concerns about the herbicide glufosinate and the Cry1B.34 toxin, and inadequate risk assessment.
  • Genetically modified maize MON 95275: MEPs objected to the Commission's draft decision for maize MON 95275, asking it to withdraw and resubmit, considering risks to biodiversity, food safety, and health.
