Day brief

A short account of the day, written by AI from the decisions and their summaries.

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

MEPs adopted new laws on waste shipments and vehicle circularity, blocked a Commission financing plan for Tanzania, and passed resolutions on Belarus, Burkina Faso, and other issues.

Waste shipments to Switzerland: Parliament backed new EU rules on exporting mixed municipal waste for recovery to Switzerland, with broad support across political groups.
Vehicle circularity requirements: MEPs approved a law setting circularity requirements for vehicle design and end-of-life management, aiming to boost recycled materials and streamline scrapping, with opposition from Patriots and ESN.
Tanzania financing plan: Parliament blocked the Commission's 2026 annual action plan for Tanzania, arguing it exceeds implementing powers and fails to address human rights concerns, urging a new draft.
Political prisoners in Belarus: Parliament condemned repression in Belarus, demanding release of all political prisoners including Aliaksandra Pulinovich, and called for broader sanctions and no normalisation until reforms.
Civic space in Burkina Faso: MEPs condemned the crackdown on freedoms in Burkina Faso, urging restoration of dissolved groups, lifting media bans, and a return to civilian rule, while rejecting the death penalty.
