In brief Changes to cohesion funding*. In a series of early afternoon debates, with Social Affairs Commissioner Roxana Mînzatu, and Executive Vice-President for Cohesion and Reforms Raffaele Fitto, Parliament will discuss the European Social Fund and cohesion policy. The focus will be on a proposed review of funding rules designed to enable regions to use the funds to respond to pressing challenges in areas such as defence industrial capacities, military mobility, affordable housing and water resilience. MEPs will vote on the two related reports on Wednesday.
Carbon leakage*. From around 18.00, MEPs will discuss changes to the carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) with Climate Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra. The changes seek to reduce the administrative burden for small and medium-sized businesses and occasional importers, with only a minimal impact on the mechanism’s climate objectives. The plenary vote on Parliament’s position is scheduled for Wednesday.
Serbia*. The ongoing use of force against protesters in Serbia is the subject of an evening debate with Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos.
Colombia*. The last item on the day’s agenda is a statement by Kaja Kallas on the situation in Colombia following the recent wave of terrorist attacks.
Votes *At noon, MEPs will vote, among others, on:
Parliament’s position on new circularity requirements for vehicle design;
public procurement;
an urgent procedure request to extend the special derogation for zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles;
the EU-Brazil agreement on police cooperation;
a report and a recommendation on the EU-Kyrgyz Republic enhanced partnership and cooperation agreement;
the Dutch and Luxembourgish nominations for the partial renewal of the Court of Auditors.
