Parliament adopted positions on banking rules and road safety, and passed resolutions on human rights and social issues.

  • Vehicle roadworthiness tests: Parliament adopted updated rules for periodic vehicle tests, adding scooters over 50cc but dropping mandatory annual checks for older cars and keeping remote sensing optional. Greens, S&D, Renew, and EPP supported; Patriots and ESN opposed.
  • Victims of crime rights: Parliament approved a law updating minimum standards for victims' rights, support, and protection, replacing an older framework. Backed by The Left, Greens, S&D, Renew, EPP, and Patriots; ESN opposed.
