Parliament approved the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers to support workers made redundant by the Belgian semiconductor company BelGaN. The decision releases EU funding for personalised measures such as training, job-search assistance and outplacement for the 417 displaced workers. Parliament also called for faster procedures and comprehensive final evaluations of the support provided.

positions recorded
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.
