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

- 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.
