Parliament adopted its position on a proposed law to amend rules on the Internal Market Information System and the single digital gateway, aligning them with certain transparency requirements of a directive. The adopted text updates the annexes of the two regulations to reflect the new requirements. Parliament asks the Commission to refer the matter back if it substantially changes its proposal, and forwards its position to the Council and national parliaments.

A vote by raised hands. Only the outcome is recorded, not who voted how. — no individual
positions recorded
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.
