Of censure on the Commission

Through this motion of censure on the European Commission, tabled under Rule 131 by a group of Members drawn from several political groups, Parliament formally censures the Commission and states that the EU is weaker due to what it calls the persistent failure of the President of the Commission on economic and social decline, security, transparency, freedom of expression and acts beyond Treaty competences. The text cites the Commission's conclusion of the Mercosur Agreement in December 2024 against opposition from national parliaments and farmers, and its splitting of that agreement into two instruments to bypass national parliaments. It also objects to the United States-EU framework on reciprocal trade, which it says was concluded without a formal Council mandate. The motion instructs the President to forward it to the Presidents of the Council and the Commission and to notify them of the plenary vote. Parliament rejected the motion on 2025-10-09.
