Parliament adopted a resolution on the Audiovisual Media Services Directive in the transatlantic dialogue, calling on the Council and member states to support the Commission in defending the directive and the EU's cultural exception in trade negotiations. The resolution stresses that the directive's measures are legitimate regulation in the public interest, safeguarding cultural diversity and protecting freedom of expression, media pluralism and democratic values. It urges the Commission to reject any attempt to consider the directive a trade distortion and to defend it as essential for protecting the EU's cultural diversity, sovereignty and soft power.

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).
