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

  • Bank capital rules for securitisation: Parliament backed updated rules making bank capital requirements for securitisation more risk-sensitive, aiming to free capital for lending. S&D, Renew, and EPP supported; The Left, Greens, Patriots, and ESN opposed.
  • Securitisation framework update: Parliament approved a revised securitisation framework introducing definitions for public and private deals, adjusting due diligence, and easing rules for repeat transactions. S&D, Renew, and EPP backed; The Left, Greens, Patriots, and ESN opposed.
  • 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.
  • Iran repression resolution: Parliament condemned executions and repression in Iran, urging a moratorium on the death penalty and condemning US and Israeli strikes, including a school bombing. Backed by most groups; The Left mostly abstained.
