15 April 2026

ENVI European Parliament

Follow its sittings
05:38 - 06:42
Speaker 1
The adoption of the agenda.  If there are no objections, the draft agenda can be adopted without modification.  Interpretation is available in 21 languages.  And as usual, at the end the meeting will be web streamed. 

Let me recall that the chemical omnibus we will vote on represents an important legislative file with significant regulatory clarity. 

I would also like to announce the non MV member who will replace a full substitute.  Leave the floor to the input chair, and who will lead the vote. 
06:43 - 07:47
Speaker 2
Thank you so much.  Also, welcome from my side to the Omnipost vote.  I also would like to announce the non-income members who are voting today. 

And.  I can also let you know that agreed adopted an opinion with 14 amendments.  They also put some work into it.  As you probably also are aware, the plenary vote is scheduled for April for the plenary session.  In April. 

And before we proceed to the votes, we will have a short intervention by the two co-workers. Do you wanna give them the floor? Yes.  Or if not, I can do it. 

Okay.  So we have this very detailed script, but I will now deviate from the script, and I will give them the floor.  So we start with the end.  We have the term with mister for APP. 
07:49 - 08:11
Speaker 1
Thank you, mister.  That's our dear colleagues.  Today's fourth is an important moment.  From the very beginning, our objective was clear.  Delivered radiance simplification, to maintain the highest level of proposal. 

I believe we have achieved exactly that.  Let me be absolutely clear from the outset. 
08:27 - 08:27
But. 

08:27 - 11:02

Maria Spyraki

At the same time, we must also ensure for the European industry at the same beach.

Clp, we have delivered a strong and balanced outcome, and simplified. The global labeling rules, including four sites, align with the existing framework.

And importantly, we avoided line. No compromise on safety, but also no unrealistic regulations.

We ensured that safety decisions remain strictly science based, substitution of GMR substance is kept on safely and assured. That the regulation works in practice in the reverse results.

Because, for them to be honest, a Russian institution without proper support. By a broad majority. It reflects a clear political choice.

Capability. To produce, innovate, and compete. Thank you. Thank you very much.

And I'll give the floor to the second. We're now able to send a good signal to entrepreneurs producing cosmetics and chemical articles. Many simplifications for these companies will be very favorable to them.

11:02 - 12:23

Krzysztof Hetman

I'm delighted that cooperation with my co-rapporteur went so well. We've reached a series of compromises.

This means that European firms will be able to adapt to new challenges. They will not be saddled with unnecessary obligations. I've talked to Polish companies producing cosmetics. They were keenly awaiting these provisions which guarantee the safety of products on the European market.

And then, fertilizers.

The fertilizer sector will also benefit while the products remain safe. Security of supply for agriculture is particularly important. And one more thing before we finish, within the EU we have differing rules which mean that safety standards for our products are particularly high. That is a competitive advantage, but it's also a challenge for our producers.

12:23 - 12:42

Speaker 2

Now we need to make sure that products that come in from other countries are checked in the same way. That's a new challenge for us. Also, the work they put into the file.

Before we come to the road, let's do a quick test code to see if they have the right number of MVPs and if everything is working. I'll put the test code.

12:54 - 12:57

Speaker 4

Okay. Thank you so much. I think everything looks good.

12:57 - 13:30

Speaker 2

And no technical problems. Great. That means we can proceed to go. We start with a show of hands, compromise one. Who is in favor? Who's against? Abstentions?

Adopted. So now we go to compromise two. I wait a tiny second because some people have to put a lot of paper around, turn out. And I still see MEP is looking for the red cage, so we wait a little bit.

13:33 - 13:35

Speaker 5

And I think now we can proceed to the vote.

13:35 - 14:20

Speaker 2

Compromise to who's in favor, who's against, abstentions adopted. And now we come to compromise three. This is also the last compromise we're voting today.

I again wait for, like, one second, because some people are still trying to find the right page. Okay. Is everyone ready to vote? Yes. So we go equally much to our hand.

Holds in favor. Who's against? That's tension. Adopted. With that, we can proceed to the final vote by vocal vote, to open the vote.

14:33 - 14:33

And. It is adopted. Congratulations to the two cooperators and the shadow teams, and we thank you for the session.
