Parliament adopted a resolution on the institutional aspects of the Draghi Report on European competitiveness, which analyses the EU's structural challenges and proposes reforms. The adopted text calls for extending qualified majority voting in the Council, using passerelle clauses, and enhancing Parliament's legislative powers, including the right of initiative. It also stresses the need for common European debt instruments to finance investment and for institutional reforms to accompany policy ambitions.

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.
