AI: The day in brief Written by AI from the official text — check the source
Parliament adopted new laws on social security coordination, air passenger rights, fertiliser support, and cross-border bus services, and passed several resolutions, including a narrowly adopted report on the European Investment Bank.
- Coordination of social security systems: Parliament backed updated rules to help people moving within Europe keep social security rights, including unemployment benefits and long-term care, with changes to benefit export periods and digital cooperation.
- Air passenger rights: Parliament approved the final text on air passenger rights, keeping the three-hour delay threshold and compensation amounts, and adding free hand baggage in price displays and digital information on rights.
- Fertiliser price support: Parliament adopted its position on a law providing temporary support and advance payments to farmers affected by increased fertiliser prices due to the Middle East crisis, despite opposition from The Left and Greens.
- Austria–Switzerland bus cabotage: Parliament backed a proposal allowing Austria to amend its 1958 road transport agreement with Switzerland to permit cabotage for coach and bus services in border regions, aiming to improve cross-border links.
- European Investment Bank report: Parliament narrowly adopted its annual report on the European Investment Bank, welcoming the bank's strategic roadmap and calling for more investment in competitiveness and defence, while preserving its credit rating.
