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 new laws on air passenger rights and gave consent to international agreements, while rejecting a request for a Court opinion on the EU-Mercosur deal.

  • Air passenger rights: Parliament backed updated EU rules on compensation for flight delays, cancellations, and denied boarding, simplifying claims and extending coverage to more flights while capping airline hotel costs in extraordinary circumstances.
  • EU-Bosnia and Herzegovina border agreement: Parliament consented to an agreement allowing the European Border and Coast Guard Agency to deploy teams with executive powers in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and asked to be informed of activities.
  • Loan for Ukraine: Parliament gave its consent to enhanced cooperation on establishing a loan for Ukraine, enabling the EU to finalize the arrangement.
  • EU-Mercosur Court opinion request: Parliament rejected a resolution that would have asked the Court of Justice to check if the proposed EU-Mercosur agreements comply with EU Treaties, so no opinion will be sought.
  • Common foreign and security policy report: Parliament adopted its annual report on the EU's foreign policy, evaluating progress and challenges and guiding the EU executive on shaping the rules-based international order.
