Parliament adopted a resolution on the EU-Greenland and Denmark Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement's implementing protocol for 2025-2030, which sets fishing opportunities for EU vessels in Greenlandic waters in exchange for a financial contribution. The resolution backs the protocol, making it Parliament's official position, and stresses the need to follow scientific advice, improve data collection, and protect marine ecosystems. Parliament also calls for increased support for coastal fishing communities and stronger regional fisheries governance.

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.
