Day brief

A short account of the day, written by AI from the decisions and their summaries.

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

Parliament adopted positions on five new EU laws, covering trade, climate, agriculture, banking, and research, all in first reading.

  • Carbon border adjustment mechanism: Parliament backed simplifying and strengthening the carbon border levy, exempting imports below 50 tonnes per shipment, which relieves most importers while keeping nearly all emissions covered.
  • Customs duties on Russian and Belarusian goods: MEPs approved raising customs duties on certain imports from Russia and Belarus, including fertilisers, with increases phased over three years to cut EU dependence.
  • Field inspections and seed production equivalence: Parliament agreed to recognise Moldova and Ukraine's field inspections and seed production as equivalent to EU standards, with technical amendments to ensure full compliance.
  • Capital Requirements Regulation amendments: Parliament adopted changes to bank capital rules regarding securities financing transactions under the net stable funding ratio, adjusting how these are treated.
  • Euratom Research and Training Programme: Parliament approved the 2026-2027 Euratom research programme, complementing Horizon Europe, and asked the Council to consult it again if substantial changes are planned.
