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 farm policy and employment guidelines, consented to a fisheries deal with Côte d'Ivoire, and blocked genetically modified maize.
- Common agricultural policy simplification: Parliament backed changes to simplify farm funding rules, covering conditionality, direct payments, and payment controls, aiming for more efficient data sharing and suspensions. S&D, Renew, EPP, ECR, Patriots, and ESN supported; The Left and Greens opposed.
- Farmers' position in food supply chain: MEPs approved a law to strengthen farmers' bargaining power by clarifying terms like 'fair' and 'equitable' and defining 'short supply chain'. All political groups backed it.
- EU employment policy guidelines: Parliament approved the proposed Council guidelines for member states' employment policies. Greens, S&D, Renew, and EPP supported; The Left, Patriots, and ESN opposed, with ECR mostly abstaining.
- Genetically modified maize DP51291: Parliament objected to authorising food and feed from this GM maize, blocking its sale in the EU due to concerns about its engineering and possible allergens. The Left, Greens, S&D, Renew, ECR, Patriots, and ESN backed; EPP opposed.
- EU–Côte d'Ivoire fisheries protocol: Parliament consented to the 2025–2029 protocol, setting an annual EU contribution of €740,000 and allowing 25 tuna purse seiners and 7 surface longliners to fish in Ivorian waters. Greens, S&D, Renew, EPP, ECR, and Patriots backed; The Left and ESN opposed.
