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

Parliament adopted new laws on vehicle emissions and package travel, and passed resolutions on human rights abuses, while rejecting the Ombudsman's annual report.

  • Heavy-duty vehicle emission credits: Parliament backed rules for calculating emission credits for trucks and buses for 2025-2029, with S&D, Renew, EPP, ECR, Patriots and ESN in favour, and The Left and Greens against.
  • Package travel protection: MEPs approved an update to EU package travel rules to strengthen traveller protection, covering insolvency, cancellations and refunds. The Left, Greens, S&D, Renew, EPP, ECR and Patriots supported it; ESN mostly abstained.
  • Ombudsman annual report 2024: Parliament narrowly rejected a resolution on the European Ombudsman's 2024 activities. EPP and Patriots backed it, while The Left, Greens, S&D and Renew opposed; ECR and ESN mostly abstained.
  • Trafficking for Russia's war: Parliament condemned Russia's recruitment of foreign nationals, especially Africans, for its war in Ukraine, demanding withdrawal and compensation. All groups except ESN (mostly abstaining) supported the resolution.
  • Detention of Niger's President: MEPs demanded the immediate release of Niger's President Mohamed Bazoum, condemned the junta's repression, and urged the EU to maintain aid and diplomatic efforts. All political groups backed the resolution.
