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

Parliament adopted positions on new EU laws, gave consent to international agreements, and passed resolutions, covering chemicals, emissions trading, GM food, and electoral rules.

  • Chemical products simplification: Parliament backed new rules easing requirements for chemical products, making labelling more flexible and streamlining cosmetic ingredient approvals, while keeping protection levels. The Left opposed.
  • Market stability reserve: MEPs approved changes to the emissions trading reserve for buildings and road transport, adjusting its trigger and price controls. ECR and Patriots voted against.
  • European Chemicals Agency update: Parliament adopted a regulation strengthening the European Chemicals Agency's governance and aligning resources with new tasks like the One Substance One Assessment. ESN opposed, Patriots mostly abstained.
  • Genetically modified soybean MON 94637: Parliament blocked the Commission's draft decision authorising GM soybean MON 94637, calling for withdrawal and reform of the GMO authorisation process. EPP opposed the objection.
  • Proxy voting for new mothers: Parliament consented to amending the European Electoral Act to allow MEPs who are pregnant or recently gave birth to vote by proxy in plenary for specified periods. ESN opposed.
