Parliament adopted positions on battery rules and several human rights resolutions, while rejecting a censure motion against the Commission.
- Battery due diligence rules: MEPs backed the Commission's proposal to amend EU battery due diligence obligations for economic operators, forwarding it to the Council and national parliaments. The Left and Greens opposed.
- Motion of censure on Commission: Parliament rejected a motion calling for the Commission's resignation over transparency and accountability concerns, so the Commission stays. The Left, ECR, Patriots and ESN backed it; others opposed.
- Ryan Cornelius case in Dubai: Parliament adopted a resolution urging EU diplomatic efforts to secure the release of British national Ryan Cornelius, detained in Dubai since 2008, and called for consular assistance. ESN opposed.
- Joseph Figueira Martin case: MEPs demanded the immediate release of researcher Joseph Figueira Martin, arbitrarily arrested and tortured in the Central African Republic, and urged due process and consular access. All groups backed it.
- Protection of religious minorities in Syria: Parliament condemned attacks on religious groups in Syria, urged authorities to protect all Syrians, and stressed Syria is unsafe for refugee returns. All groups supported the resolution.
