    On 19 January, the ENVI Committee will vote on the recommendation for second reading on the Detergents Regulation. ENVI Committee members are invited to confirm the draft recommendation for Parliament's second reading, proposing to approve the Council's position at first reading.

    The Council adopted its first reading position on the Detergents Regulation on 8 December 2025. The position was formally announced by the President of the European Parliament on 18 December. It reflects the outcome of the negotiations as set out in the ENVI Chair's letter of 16 July 2025 to the Council Presidency, following endorsement by the ENVI Committee the previous day. Adoption of the draft recommendation in ENVI would allow Parliament to proceed with its second reading, scheduled to take place in plenary on 22 January. Should ENVI approve the text, Parliament is expected to confirm the agreement reached with the Council, thereby concluding the legislative procedure on this file.
