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

Parliament adopted a resolution endorsing the EU-Singapore Digital Trade Agreement, the EU's first standalone digital trade pact with a partner country. The agreement sets binding rules to boost consumer trust, ensure legal certainty for businesses, and remove unjustified barriers to digital trade. It facilitates cross-border data flows, bans customs duties on electronic transmissions, and protects against mandatory source code disclosures. Parliament's adoption makes the resolution its official position, supporting the Council's conclusion of the agreement.

Part of the sitting of Thursday, 13 November 2025. The vote was taken on Report A-10-2025-0190 in procedure 2025/0009M.

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).
