Parliament adopted a resolution assessing the EU's defence needs up to 2030, focusing on financing and industrial readiness. The text calls for closing the defence investment gap and improving access to capital for defence companies, including small firms. It asks the Commission and member states to address obstacles such as procurement delays and restrictive investment rules.

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.
