Wording as published by the EP, in English.

1. Amendment 48 · Draft legislative actRejected

   Recital 1 a (new)

   Tabled by Manon Aubry, Marina Mesure, Arash Saeidi · The Left

   Added: (1 a) The European Union expresses deep concern at the worrying increase in executions and death sentences in the United States; recalls that the abolition of the death penalty is a fundamental value of the Union, enshrined in Article 2 TEU and the Charter of Fundamental Rights; considers that pursuing or concluding agreements in such a context is incompatible with the Union’s values and undermines the credibility of its external action.

2. Amendment 49 · Draft legislative actRejected

   Recital 1 b (new)

   Tabled by Marina Mesure, Manon Aubry, Arash Saeidi · The Left

   Added: (1 b) The European Union recalls that the Union’s external action must be guided by the principles of sovereignty, the rule of law and respect for its institutional framework, in accordance with Articles 2 and 21 TEU; strongly condemns the imposition of sanctions, including travel bans, by the United States against a former European Commissioner for the implementation of EU legislation; considers that such measures constitute an unacceptable form of external pressure on the Union’s regulatory sovereignty and democratic decision-making; takes the view that, in this context, no agreement with the United States should be concluded.

3. Amendment 50 · Draft legislative actRejected

   Recital 1 c (new)

   Tabled by Manon Aubry, Marina Mesure, Arash Saeidi · The Left

   Added: (1 c) The recent conduct of the United States administration, marked by multiple violations of international law, including serious threats to the territorial integrity of allied countries, military aggression against Iran, the US’s responsibility for the deaths of many civilians, including the bombing of a girls’ school, hostility towards international justice and deliberate efforts to weaken Europe, shows that the United States can no longer be regarded as a fully reliable and democratic partner for the European Union.

4. Amendment 51 · Draft legislative actRejected

   Recital 2 a (new)

   Tabled by Manon Aubry, Marina Mesure, Arash Saeidi · The Left

   Added: (2 a) The trade agreement announced on 27 July 2025 was concluded in an informal, private setting – a golf course in Scotland owned by the President of the United States – not covered by any institutional procedure provided for by the Treaties of the European Union. Holding discussions that are decisive for European trade and agriculture policy in a private venue linked to one of the parties raises serious doubts about the transparency, democratic accountability and integrity of the decision-making process. Such a framework is incompatible with the requirements of diligence, independence and neutrality that is required to govern the conduct of the common commercial policy in accordance with Article 207 TFEU.

5. Amendment 52 · Draft legislative actRejected

   Recital 2 b (new)

   Tabled by Manon Aubry, Marina Mesure, Arash Saeidi · The Left

   Added: (2 b) The United States chose not to participate in COP30 in Belém, demonstrating a lack of commitment to international climate governance. Further opening up the European market to American agricultural products without environmental conditions is therefore incompatible with the Union’s climate objectives.

6. Amendment 53 · Draft legislative actRejected

   Recital 2 c (new)

   Tabled by Manon Aubry, Marina Mesure, Arash Saeidi · The Left

   Added: (2 c) The United States is not a party to the Paris Agreement under the UNFCCC after its withdrawal from the Agreement has been notified. In this case, no agreement could be initiated until the United States has rejoined the Paris Agreement and confirmed its commitment to implement its nationally determined contributions.

7. Amendment 54 · Draft legislative actRejected

   Recital 2 d (new)

   Tabled by Manon Aubry, Marina Mesure, Arash Saeidi · The Left

   Added: (2 d) The European Union considers that no trade or political agreement with a third country can be concluded or even envisaged where that partner challenges or threatens the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a Member State or an associated territory; the Union cannot accept any commitments with a partner adopting such positions, notably with regard to Greenland.

8. Amendment 55 · Draft legislative actRejected

   Recital 2 e (new)

   Tabled by Manon Aubry, Marina Mesure, Arash Saeidi · The Left

   Added: (2 e) This Regulation exempts United States industrial products imported to the Union from tariffs and grants further market access to United States agricultural products while Union products will be subject to a 15 % tariff rate, thereby creating systemic unfair terms of trade to the expense of the Union.

9. Amendment 56 · Draft legislative actRejected

   Recital 3 a (new)

   Tabled by Manon Aubry, Marina Mesure, Arash Saeidi · The Left

   Added: (3 a) The European Union regrets that the so-called “Turnberry” political agreement contains unprecedented concessions, particularly in the areas of energy, investment, and industrial cooperation, and does not appear to have any legal basis on an explicit, precise, and up-to-date mandate of negotiation, in accordance with Article 207 of the TFEU.

10. Amendment 57 · Draft legislative actRejected

    Recital 4 a (new)

    Tabled by Manon Aubry, Marina Mesure, Arash Saeidi · The Left

    Added: (4 a) United States agriculture continues to make extensive use of active substances that are banned in the European Union, and the proposed agreement thus creates structural unfair competition between European producers who adhere to a more sustainable and virtuous model and United States imports produced under lax standards, generating an increased risk to the health of European consumers. There is therefore concern about the European Commission’s future responsibility for diseases linked to these imports and their consumption by European citizens.

11. Amendment 58 · Draft legislative actRejected

    Recital 4 b (new)

    Tabled by Manon Aubry, Marina Mesure, Arash Saeidi · The Left

    Added: (4 b) The European Union stresses that the United States is one of the European Union’s main competitors in the agricultural sector, with significant differences in production standards, regulatory frameworks and cost structures; considers that this agreement undermines Union standards and the sustainability of the European agricultural model, to the exclusive benefit of the United States. It undermines European food sovereignty, is contrary to CAP objectives and creates a major tariff imbalance without adequate and robust safeguards.

12. Amendment 59 · Draft legislative actRejected

    Recital 9 a (new)

    Tabled by Per Clausen · The Left

    Added: (9 a) Whereas this agreement should not take effect for as long as the Trump-administration does not swear off the prospect of annexing or otherwise taking over Greenland, or in any other way threatens the territorial integrity of any Member State of the Union.

13. Amendment 60 · Draft legislative actRejected

    Recital 9 b (new)

    Tabled by Per Clausen · The Left

    Added: (9 b) Whereas any threats from the United States side, whether made formally, in speeches or via social media posts from members of the United States administration, made against any Union Member State should lead to the immediate suspension of this agreement.

14. Amendment 61 · Draft legislative actRejected

    Article 3 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 1 – point d a (new)

    Tabled by Per Clausen · The Left

    Added: (d a) where the United States administration makes any claims to Greenland, threatens to annex Greenland, sends unannounced military forces, or is suspected, by the authorities in Greenland, Denmark or any other EU country, of launching any influence operations in Greenland.
