It's only provisional for now, but sounds very likely that it will pass:
Following today’s provisional agreement, work will continue at technical level in the coming weeks to finalise the details of the new regulation. The presidency will submit the compromise text to the member states’ representatives (Coreper) for endorsement once this work has been concluded.
The entire text will need to be confirmed by both institutions and undergo legal-linguistic revision before formal adoption by the co-legislators.
