MEPs adopted positions on key laws, including a common return system and anti-corruption rules, while rejecting an extension of a temporary derogation.

- US goods tariff quotas: Parliament adopted its position on adjusting customs duties and opening tariff quotas for certain US goods, endorsing the proposal with amendments and requesting transparency on revenue losses.
- US lobster duty suspension: Parliament adopted its position on indefinitely suspending customs duties on US lobster imports, expanding to processed lobster, with amendments including a sunset clause.
