Budget decisions: the annual budget, amending budgets, solidarity and adjustment funds, and discharge (approving how a budget was spent).
The European Parliament approved the mobilisation of the European Union Solidarity Fund to assist Italy, Slovenia, Austria, Greece and France after six natural disasters in 2023. The decision releases financial aid for recovery from floods and a cyclone, as proposed by the Commission. Parliament also calls for faster procedures and increased funding for climate adaptation and prevention.
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
