On 19 March, ENVI and IMCO Members will discuss the amendments tabled to the End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) legislative proposal. A significant number of amendments have been tabled and this reflects the high interest in the proposal and its relevance for the future of the automotive sector in Europe.

Rapporteur, Salvatore De Meo (EPP) will present his report in IMCO. The report addresses key regulatory challenges in e-commerce, including unsafe imports, unfair competition, and enforcement gaps. It supports the revision of the EU Customs Code to improve e-commerce import controls, enhance cooperation through a new EU Customs Authority and Data Hub, and remove the EUR 150 customs duty exemption.

On 17 March, Members will hold an exchange of views with the Commission on recent developments on the enforcement of the Digital Markets Act (DMA), in particular regarding ongoing regulatory dialogues with gatekeepers and formal proceedings opened against gatekeepers to ensure compliance with the DMA.

On February 11, 2025, the European Commission announced in its 2025 work programme its intention to withdraw the AI Liability Directive (AILD) within six months, citing "no foreseeable agreement" among EU lawmakers and member states.

On 17 March, the IMCO Committee will discuss a number of amendments submitted to the draft opinion, which was prepared earlier by the rapporteur. Many of the amendments aim to maintain geographical balance and fairness, strengthening the development of the defence industry across all Member States while making EDIP more efficient.

On 18 March, Rapporteur Alex Agius Saliba (S&D) will present his proposals on the Package Travel Directive. IMCO Members will discuss this draft report, along with the proposals previously put forward by the Commission. These proposals aim to clarify certain rules on package travel, particularly in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, which significantly impacted both the travel industry and travellers.
