The applicant claims that the Court should:






—


annul the defendant’s decision of 8 July 2021, refusing to revoke or to amend the defendant’s implementing decision (EU) 2021/61 (1), by which Monsanto Europe SA has been permitted, under the GM Regulation (2), to market genetically modified maize MON 87427 x MON 87460 x MON 89034 x MIR162 x NK603 and its sub-combinations in the EU;

Statement by the European Commission on a geopolitical dialogue with the European Parliament on the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA III)
(2021/C 380 I/04)
The European Commission, mindful of the European Parliament’s functions of political control laid down in Article 14 of the Treaty on the European Union, commits to conduct a high-level geopolitical dialogue between the two institutions on the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2021/1529 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA III). This dialogue should allow exchanges with the European Parliament, whose positions on the implementation of the IPA III will be fully taken into consideration, in full respect of the Commission’s ability to implement the instrument, in line with its institutional responsibilities.
The geopolitical dialogue will discuss general orientations on the implementation of the IPA III, including on programming before the adoption of the IPA III programming framework and programming documents, and concerning specific subjects such as the suspension of assistance to a beneficiary when it persistently fails to observe the principles of democracy, the rule of law, good governance, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.
The geopolitical dialogue will be structured as follows:






i)


A high-level dialogue between the Commissioner in charge of Neighbourhood and Enlargement, on behalf of the Commission, and the European Parliament.










ii)


A permanent dialogue at senior officials’ level with AFET working groups to ensure an adequate preparation and follow-up to the high-level dialogue.




The high-level dialogue will take place at least twice a year. One of the meetings may coincide with the presentation by the Commission of the draft annual budget.

(2021/C 380 I/05)
The European Commission considers that the provision in Article 8(5) respects the powers of the Commission in the implementation of Union programmes, and the Union budget in general as long as it is without prejudice to the powers entrusted to the Commission by the Treaties and the Financial Regulation to suspend Union assistance provided to third countries.

Statement by the European Parliament on the suspension of assistance granted under the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA III)
(2021/C 380 I/01)
The European Parliament notes that Regulation (EU) 2021/1529 establishing the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA III) contains a general reference on the possibility of suspending assistance without specifying the concrete basis for such a decision. Such a suspension of assistance should be implemented in the event of degradation in democracy, human rights and rule of law by a beneficiary listed in Annex I.
The European Parliament considers that any suspension of assistance under this instrument would modify the overall financial scheme agreed under the ordinary legislative procedure. As a co-legislator and co-branch of the budgetary authority, the European Parliament is therefore entitled to fully exercise its prerogatives in that regard, if such a decision is to be taken.
