AI: The day in brief Written by AI from the official text — check the source

Parliament adopted positions on new laws and resolutions covering medicines, company law, job transitions, and financial stability, while rejecting an objection to insurance rules.

  • Critical medicines supply: Parliament backed new EU rules to secure supplies of critical medicines, boost EU manufacturing, and improve member state coordination. The Left, Greens, S&D, Renew, and EPP supported it; ESN opposed.
  • Solvency II insurance rules: MEPs rejected an objection to a Commission measure amending insurance and reinsurance prudential rules, so the delegated regulation stands as planned.
  • 28th Regime company law: Parliament asked the Commission to propose a voluntary EU-wide corporate form, the Societas Europaea Unificata, to help small firms scale up. Greens, S&D, Renew, EPP, and ECR backed it; The Left, Patriots, and ESN opposed.
  • Just transition jobs: MEPs called for a directive to support workers and regions during green and digital shifts, promoting social dialogue and quality jobs. The Left, Greens, S&D, Renew, and EPP supported it; ECR, Patriots, and ESN opposed.
  • Financial stability measures: Parliament urged completing the Banking Union and Capital Markets Union to absorb shocks, while calling for stronger supervision and crisis preparedness. Greens, S&D, Renew, EPP, and ECR backed it; The Left and ESN opposed.
