Plenary sitting, Thursday, 8 October 2020

A sitting

One day of voting in plenary. Each subject is a report, resolution, agreement or objection; they are grouped by kind of decision, and each group says what “adopted” means there.

The ballots

Members vote on amendments and on parts of the text first, then on the text as a whole. That final, decisive vote is the result shown at the top of each subject.

Who voted how

Only roll-call votes record each Member’s vote — open one for every name and the breakdown by group. A show of hands records the outcome only.

Document & procedure

Each subject rests on a document (a committee report, a motion, a Council or Commission text) and belongs to a procedure, the whole file that can span years.

Group badges

How most of a group voted: ✓ For · ✗ Against · – Abstained · ~ Split (no majority).
