Okay. Those two are specifically agreed. I want to put a proposal about COM (2025) 87, which is the one about the carbon adjustment mechanism. I did not get to it but I formally propose, as Chair, that we send it to the sectoral committee. Is the one about carbon emissions agreed? Agreed.

COM (2025) 100 deals with financial commercial activity. This is about the statistics and real estate in construction. I suggest that we forward this matter to the select committee for further consideration by it because they are the people who will be most in charge. We are an interim committee in the meantime but that certainly is their role. Is the proposal agreed? Agreed. We are referring four proposals to the line committees for further consideration. Is that agreed? Agreed.

I will refer to my notes. I refer to regulation COM (2025) 80 as regards the date from which member states are to apply certain corporate sustainability reporting as a due diligence requirement.

It is proposed that on the basis there are no apparent subsidiary concerns, this proposal does not warrant further scrutiny by this committee at this time. However, we are referring it to the committee. Is that agreed? Agreed.
