AI: The day in brief Written by AI from the official text — check the source
Parliament adopted its position on European Works Councils and rejected two censure motions against the Commission, while passing resolutions on human rights and crises.
- European Works Councils: Parliament backed a law to strengthen European Works Councils, ensuring workers are informed and consulted before major company decisions. The Left, Greens, S&D, Renew, EPP and ECR supported it; Patriots and ESN opposed.
- Motion of censure on the Commission: MEPs rejected a censure motion against the Commission, so it stays in office. ECR, Patriots and ESN backed the motion; The Left, Greens, S&D, Renew and EPP opposed.
- Motion of censure on the Commission: Another censure motion, criticising the Commission over trade deals and crises, was also rejected. The Left and ESN backed it; Greens, S&D, Renew, EPP and ECR opposed, with Patriots mostly abstaining.
- Detention of Gui Minhai: Parliament adopted a resolution calling for the immediate release of Swedish publisher Gui Minhai, detained in China for 10 years, and urging China to respect international obligations. All groups backed it except ESN, which mostly abstained.
- Humanitarian and security situation in Haiti: Parliament condemned gang violence in Haiti, including sexual violence and child recruitment, and welcomed a new UN security force. All groups supported the resolution except ESN, which mostly abstained.
