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

Parliament approved the Council position on Draft amending budget No 1/2025, which enters the 2024 surplus of EUR 1 345 million into the 2025 budget. The spending was approved, meaning the surplus reduces member states' GNI-based contributions to the 2025 budget. Parliament calls on the Commission to design a durable budget architecture and urges the Council to adopt new own resources proposals.

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).
