Parliament adopted its positions on five new EU laws, covering chemicals oversight, data protection enforcement, and political party funding, all backed by broad majorities.

  • Chemicals agency cooperation: Parliament backed a law to reassign scientific tasks and boost cooperation among EU agencies on chemicals, aiming to strengthen knowledge and early risk detection. The Left, Greens, S&D, Renew, and EPP supported it; ECR, Patriots, and ESN opposed.
  • Common chemicals data platform: MEPs approved creating a shared EU data platform for chemicals, making information findable and reusable, plus a monitoring framework. Support came from The Left through EPP; ECR, Patriots, and ESN voted against.
  • ECHA tasks re-attribution: Parliament adopted its position to give the European Chemicals Agency more scientific tasks under the RoHS Directive. The Left, Greens, S&D, Renew, and EPP backed it; ECR and ESN opposed, Patriots mostly abstained.
  • GDPR enforcement rules: Parliament approved new procedural rules for enforcing the General Data Protection Regulation, streamlining cross-border cases and setting deadlines. Backed by The Left through ECR; ESN opposed, Patriots mostly abstained.
  • European political party funding: MEPs adopted updated rules on funding and transparency for European political parties and foundations. The Left, Greens, S&D, Renew, and EPP supported; ECR, Patriots, and ESN opposed.
