The Foreign Affairs Committee opens its meeting, adopts the agenda and voting arrangements, then examines the comprehensive package of EU–Swiss agreements under rapporteur Grudler, adopts the interim report and consent recommendation, and later repeats the final Swiss roll‑call votes due to a technical failure before the chair hands over to Vice‑President Bogdan.
Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE)
Chair, Commission, Court of Auditors and EESC set the agenda on the economic dimension of rule of law, present the Commission toolbox and audit findings, and highlight how rule‑of‑law performance, budget conditionality and enforcement affect the single market and competitiveness.
Committee on Environment, Climate and Food Safety (ENVI)
The EEA Executive Director presents escalating climate and environmental risks, argues for full implementation of the Green Deal with systemic, cross‑cutting measures, then details recent and upcoming EEA assessments, network expansion, digitalization and AI strategy, and associated funding needs under the EU financial framework.

Chairs open the joint and then ENVI‑only sessions, adopt agendas and minutes, confirm substitutes and conduct roll‑call and hand votes on the Inter‑American sea turtles convention, ECHA basic regulation, INSPIRE Directive compromises and final text, and the Market Stability Reserve and flupiradifurone objection, closing the voting block.

The Commissioner closes by promising further initiatives, including a simplification package and openness to amendments, after which the chair outlines coordinators’ decisions on letters, hearings, missions, studies and calendar, and in a later session opens a dedicated public hearing on innovative solutions for affordable housing with expert input on social housing, cooperatives, rent regulation and EU financial instruments.

Committee on Housing Crisis (special committee) (HOUS)
A shortened second round sees centre‑right groups criticising the Act for not directly boosting housing supply and for constraining capital and tourist rentals, while S&D and Renew emphasise affordability tools, primary residence protection and member state responsibility, and Greens and non‑attached members raise concerns over large corporate landlords, speculative vacancy and the right to housing versus property rights.

MEPs from EPP, S&D, PfE, ECR, Renew, Greens and The Left deliver initial reactions, clashing over the proposal’s interventionism, its focus on short‑term rentals and vacant housing, criteria for stressed areas, and the balance between local regulation and market freedoms, while the Commissioner defends the legal basis, optional nature of measures and focus on income‑to‑price ratios and concentration effects.

Committee on Public Health (SANT)
MEPs question the EU delegate on leadership, Africa partnerships, IP and equitable access, prompting explanations of why biodiversity-style ABS is unsuitable for pathogens, how it is stalling the overall agreement, and how private-law contracts for in-kind company donations could strengthen WHO’s role without transactional pathogen leverage.

The EU delegate presents the background, objectives and architecture of the WHO pandemic agreement and its PABS annex, then details geopolitical divisions over access and binding benefit sharing that delay entry into force and drive the search for workable compromises.
