✦ What this vote decides · AI summary, based on the text voted on

Parliament approved the Council position on Draft amending budget No 4/2024, which updates the EU's revenue forecasts and adjusts funding for several decentralised agencies. The adopted budget revises own resources forecasts, including customs duties, VAT, plastic waste, and GNI, and updates the UK contribution and fines. It also increases funding for agencies like the European Medicines Agency and Eurojust, using the Flexibility Instrument. Parliament calls on the Commission to improve forecasting and urges the Council to adopt proposals for new own resources.

New here? How plenary voting works
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.
