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

Parliament adopted positions on new EU laws and resolutions covering agri-food enforcement, human rights in Uganda, Iran, and Türkiye, and an anti-poverty strategy, among other items.

  • Agri-food unfair trading practices: Parliament backed a law to boost cross-border cooperation among national enforcers against unfair trading in agri-food, giving them tools to investigate and fine buyers in other member states.
  • Uganda post-election situation: MEPs adopted a resolution urging Ugandan authorities to ensure safety of political actors, resolve disputes peacefully, and consider African Union recommendations; it also asks the EU to review governance funding.
  • Iran systemic oppression: Parliament passed a resolution condemning systemic oppression, inhumane conditions, and arbitrary detentions in Iran, making it the official parliamentary stance.
  • Türkiye expulsions of journalists: The resolution calls on Türkiye to stop deporting foreign journalists and Christians, specifically Iranian journalist Kaveh Taheri, and to avoid using security pretexts without transparency.
  • EU anti-poverty strategy: MEPs called for a new EU strategy to eradicate poverty by 2030, urging full employment, stronger social protection, and at least €20 billion for the European Child Guarantee; opposed by ECR, Patriots, and ESN.
