The Parliament called on the European Commission to propose delegated and implementing acts to the MDR and IVDR by the end of Q1 2025 to address the most pressing challenges and bottlenecks in the implementation of the legislative frameworks, and to use legislative and non-legislative tools to resolve issues of divergent interpretation and practical application of the two Regulations.

The European Parliament has released a briefing paper regarding its proposals to amend Council Regulation (EC) No 6/2002 (the Community Design Regulation) and to recast Directive 98/71/EC (the Design Directive).

The European Parliament has released an in-depth analysis on digital assets ahead of the 3 December 2025 ECON public hearing, outlining the evolving EU regulatory framework, current market developments and emerging risks. While unbacked cryptoassets remain volatile, the report highlights that stablecoins—centralised in governance yet reliant on decentralized ledgers—now underpin around 80% of cryptoasset trades. Their growing role raises concerns around financial stability, operational vulnerabilities and regulatory divergence between the Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/1114) (MiCA Regulation) and the more permissive US Guaranteed and Insured Necessary Infrastructure for Upholding Stability Act (GENIUS Act).

It also states that the contribution of these measures to industrial deployment and commercial production remains uncertain.
