The draft amending budget No 2/2025 updates the revenue side of the EU budget, including own resources, and adjusts expenditure for certain items. Parliament approved the Council's position on the draft amending budget, meaning the spending was approved. The update includes lower estimates for customs duties, VAT bases, and plastic waste, but a higher gross national income base, and adjusts the UK contribution and fines. Parliament also calls for new own resources and questions certain expenditure increases and reallocations.

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).
