Amending regulations on agricultural products as regards market rules and sectoral support measures in the wine sector and for aromatised wine products
Committee report by Esther Herranz García · Parliament’s first vote on a proposed EU law. It sets Parliament’s position for negotiations with the Council. · voted at 12:59
Parliament’s position on proposed laws. It usually needs to agree with the Council before a law is final.
Parliament adopted its position on a proposed EU law updating market rules and support measures for wine and aromatised wine products. The law aims to tackle the wine sector's structural crisis, including oversupply and falling consumption, with tools such as voluntary grubbing-up and distillation. Parliament's amendments add crisis measures to national strategic plans, allow fund carry-over, and harmonise electronic labelling. The position now goes to the Council for agreement before the law is finalised.

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.
