Parliament gave its consent to the EU-Jordan agreement updating Jordan's participation in the PRIMA research partnership. The agreement aligns Jordan's role with Horizon Europe rules and lets it stay engaged in the partnership until 2031. PRIMA addresses Mediterranean challenges like water management and farming systems, and Jordan has been a partner since its start.
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.
