Parliament approved the Council position on Draft amending budget No 3/2025, which adjusts payment appropriations, updates revenues, and makes other technical updates. The adopted budget increases payment appropriations by EUR 2.52 billion and commitment appropriations by EUR 123.7 million, while incorporating additional revenues from fines and customs duties. Parliament welcomes the increased payments for the European Regional Development Fund and other programmes, and urges accelerated implementation of certain measures. The resolution instructs the President to declare the amending budget definitively adopted and forward the resolution to the Council, Commission, and national parliaments.

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.
