Parliament adopted positions on security of identity documents, gave consent to international agreements, and set budget guidelines for 2026.

  • EEA financial mechanisms: MEPs consented to financial mechanisms with Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway for 2021-2028, including fish import protocols. The Left opposed; others backed. Concerns about fisheries imbalances were raised.
  • Guinea-Bissau fisheries: Parliament approved a new fisheries protocol with Guinea-Bissau for 2024-2029, allowing EU vessels to fish and providing €85 million, with €4.5 million yearly for sustainability. The Left and ESN opposed.
  • Eurojust-Bosnia cooperation: Parliament consented to an agreement boosting Eurojust's cooperation with Bosnia and Herzegovina against serious crime, including data transfer with privacy safeguards. ESN mostly abstained; others backed.
  • 2026 budget guidelines: Parliament adopted its 2026 budget guidelines, urging investment in defence, research, SMEs, health, and migration, plus support for Ukraine and enlargement. The Left, Patriots, and ESN opposed; ECR mostly abstained.
