Parliament adopted positions on several new EU laws, including trade safeguards, defence investment incentives, and agricultural subsidy reforms, while rejecting a proposal on consumer dispute resolution.
- Consumer dispute resolution: Parliament rejected the proposed update to EU rules on alternative dispute resolution for consumers, so the directive is not approved at this stage. Patriots and ESN backed it; The Left, Greens, S&D, Renew and EPP opposed.
- EU-Mercosur trade safeguards: Parliament adopted its position on a law to protect sensitive EU farm sectors from surges in agricultural imports from Mercosur countries. Greens, S&D, Renew, EPP and ESN backed it; The Left and Patriots opposed.
- Defence investment incentives: Parliament adopted its position on a law amending EU funding programmes to support defence technologies and military mobility under the ReArm Europe Plan. Greens, S&D, Renew, EPP, ECR and Patriots backed it; The Left and ESN opposed.
- CAP subsidy amendments: Parliament adopted its position on changes to EU agricultural subsidy rules, covering conditionality, direct payments, and rural development. All groups backed it.
- Macro-financial assistance to Jordan: Parliament adopted its position on providing Jordan with up to EUR 500 million in loans to support economic stability. Greens, S&D, Renew, EPP, ECR, Patriots and ESN backed it; The Left mostly abstained.
