6Objections to Commission measures·decision 6 of 14 on Wednesday, 9 July 2025
Objection under Rule 114(3) · delegated act
Amending Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1675 to add certain countries to the list of high-risk third countries, and to remove other countries from that list
Motion for a resolution · voted 13:16–13:18
Parliament can object to technical rules the Commission adopts on its own. Against a delegated act an adopted objection is a veto; against most implementing measures (such as GMO authorisations) it is a call on the Commission to withdraw the measure, which is not legally binding.
The Commission proposed updating the EU list of high-risk third countries for money laundering and terrorist financing, adding ten countries and removing eight, including Gibraltar. Parliament rejected the objection to this delegated regulation, so the Commission's measure goes ahead as planned. The resolution had asked the Commission to keep Gibraltar on the list and to submit a new act, but that request has no effect now.

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).
