Speaker 2

Good morning everybody. I invite everybody to take his place so we can start. Good. I welcome everybody to this meeting in which we will vote on the provisional... Please colleagues.

In which we will vote on the provisional agreement on the Omnibus file. A very welcome to the co-rapporteurs Maria Teresa Vivaldini, Niels Hansen and Lukas Mandl, to the shadows of the file as well as to our colleagues in the room from the Commission. If no objection is raised the agenda is deemed adopted. And now I give the floor to my colleagues starting from the ECON chair.

01:13 - 03:05

Speaker 3

Thank you dear chair. Good morning everyone. And welcome to the co-rapporteurs, the shadows and the representative of the Commission. And I would like to thank the co-rapporteurs for the good collaboration in the context of the inter-institutional negotiations and for successfully concluding the second trilogue on June the 9th. Interpretation is available today in 21 languages and you are invited to speak in your mother tongue when available.

During the second and final trilogue on the mid-caps Omnibus, the negotiating teams of Parliament and Council reached a provisional agreement on the proposal which extends certain mitigating measures available for SMEs to small mid-cap enterprises and introduces further simplification measures. The aim is to avoid cliff-edge situations where a company's obligations drastically increase when they grow beyond the SME threshold and to support companies in scaling up. In line with the European Parliament position, small mid-cap enterprises are defined in principle as companies with fewer than 1000 employees and either up to 200 million in turnover or up to 172 million in total asset. The new category will be introduced in various laws ranging from data protection, battery, stock exchanging, listing of companies, etc. with existing SMEs exemption extending to the new category. And I give the floor to the LIBE chair.

03:05 - 04:11

Speaker 1

Thank you chair and good morning to all of you. I join my colleagues from ECON and ENVI in welcoming the co-rapporteurs and the shadows and congratulating them on the successful outcome of the trilogue on the 9th of June. This is the second file included in the Omnibus 4 package and I already had the pleasure to congratulate the negotiating team for the outcome on the first vote on the directive which took place right before this session.

I am particularly welcoming the swift manner in which our co-rapporteurs have concluded this file with the Cyprus presidency. As I can see from the number of members present, that we have a quorum, and as far as LIBE committee is concerned, no further replacements have been reported. So, I think that we can move to the next item, which is the adoption of minutes. If no objection is raised, the minutes of the meeting of the 4th of December 2025 are deemed adopted.

04:11 - 11:20
