Parliament adopted positions on several new EU laws, including trade preferences for developing countries and animal welfare rules, and gave its consent to the EU's long-term budget framework.

- European Globalisation Adjustment Fund: The Fund will now also help workers in direct suppliers and downstream users facing job displacement from restructuring, with safeguards for social dialogue and State aid clarity. The Left, Greens, S&D, Renew, EPP, ECR and Patriots backed it.
