Amending Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 as regards the scope of the rules for benchmarks, the use in the Union of benchmarks provided by an administrator located in a third country, and certain reporting requirements
Committee report · Parliament’s vote on the Council’s position on a proposed law, after the first reading.
Parliament’s position on proposed laws. It usually needs to agree with the Council before a law is final.
The draft law amends the EU rules on benchmarks, covering their scope, the use of benchmarks from third-country administrators, and reporting requirements. Parliament approved the Council's position at first reading without amendments, meaning the act is adopted as agreed in negotiations. The President of Parliament will sign the act with the President of the Council, and it will be published in the Official Journal.
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
