Parliament adopted a resolution on EU actions against Russia's shadow fleets and on ensuring full enforcement of sanctions against Russia. The text condemns Russia's use of shadow fleets, which it calls a key financial lifeline for Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine. It calls for measures such as a full ban on re-exported Russian refined oil products and stricter inspections of suspicious ships. Parliament also urges member states to take action against companies registered there that enable sanctions circumvention.

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