Motion for a resolution · voted at 12:28

Parliament can object to technical rules the Commission adopts on its own. Against a delegated act an adopted objection is a veto; against most implementing measures (such as GMO authorisations) it is a call on the Commission to withdraw the measure, which is not legally binding.

✦ What this vote decides · AI summary, based on the text voted on

The Commission's delegated regulation simplifies reporting on environmentally sustainable activities and the technical screening criteria for the 'do no significant harm' principle. Parliament rejected the objection, so the Commission measure goes ahead as planned. The regulation narrows the scope of substances of very high concern covered and introduces a materiality threshold for reporting.

New here? How plenary voting works
A sitting
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.
Group badges
How most of a group voted: ✓ For · ✗ Against · – Abstained · ~ Split (no majority).
