Parliament adopted a resolution assessing how gender equality is integrated into the EU budget for 2021-2024. The text calls for a comprehensive gender budgeting methodology for the next long-term budget, covering the whole budget cycle and using gender-disaggregated data. It also asks for EU-level spending targets for gender equality and for accounting for secondary effects and intersectional factors.

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.
