Parliament adopted positions on new laws and gave consent to an international agreement, covering topics from euro adoption to fisheries.

  • Bulgaria’s adoption of the euro: Parliament approved Bulgaria joining the euro area on 1 January 2026, backing the Commission's proposal and asking the Council to consult it again if changes are made.
  • Gas storage rules: Parliament backed updated gas storage rules, lowering the November filling target to 83% and allowing flexibility for member states under certain market conditions.
  • Entry/Exit System phase-in: Parliament supported a regulation letting member states phase in the Entry/Exit System over 180 days instead of launching it fully at all borders at once.
  • VAT on distance sales: Parliament approved updated VAT rules making platforms and suppliers liable for import VAT on distance sales of imported goods if they do not use the import one-stop-shop.
  • EU–Greenland fisheries agreement: Parliament consented to the EU–Greenland fisheries protocol for 2025–2030, allowing EU vessels to fish in Greenlandic waters for species like cod and Northern prawn.
