EU-US trade deal: MEPs debate

MEPs set out their recommendations to promote decent, sustainable, and affordable housing across the European Union in a debate with Council and Commission representatives. They highlight the precarious living conditions of millions of Europeans, due to a limited housing supply and increasing rent and mortgage costs in the past two decades. The draft proposals cover the key aspects of the crisis, including the need to boost investment through EU, national and private funds, to reduce red tape in the housing sector, improve the quality, sustainability and habitability of homes, and to tackle labour shortages and competitiveness challenges in the construction sector.

MEPs debate on Air Passenger Rights. They discuss the Council’s proposed changes to existing air passenger rights rules. Parliament’s draft text offers a comprehensive list of extraordinary circumstances, such as natural disasters, weather conditions or unforeseen labour disputes, that would release airlines of their responsibility to pay compensation. Council favours an open-ended list. Plenary also defends the right to carry on board, at no additional cost, one personal item, such as a handbag, backpack or laptop, plus one small piece of hand luggage with maximum dimensions of 100 cm (combined length, width and height) and weighing no more than 7 kg.

Air Passenger Rights: MEPs debate

This News item presents extracts from the debate (20/1) and from the vote (21/1) on Air Passenger Rights. In 2014, Parliament reacted to a Commission proposal to update air passenger rights, proposing that delayed or stranded air passengers should receive better access to compensation, with clearer rules about how airlines should deal with passenger complaints. Differing positions among EU countries blocked this file for 11 years. In June 2025, however, EU ministers reached a political agreement. Subsequent negotiations with Parliament started in October 2025, but did not end in agreement, forcing Parliament to proceed with the adoption of its second reading position.This transcription is the result of an automatic process.

Press conference by Andrey NOVAKOV (EPP, BG), rapporteur, and the shadow rapporteurs, on air passenger rights

MEPs debate with the Commission and the Danish Council Presidency the details of the trade agreement with the US, and possible deals with other countries. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and US President Donald Trump announced a deal on tariffs and trade on 27 July, but questions about its implementation details remain. The prospect of further deals with other trade partners will also be discussed. MEPs are likely to raise the agreement concluded with Mercosur, whose ratification is pending, and the agreed update of the agreement with Mexico, among others.
