Committee report by Tobias Cremer · voted 13:08–13:09
Non-binding texts in which Parliament states its position on a topic. They carry political weight but do not create law.
Parliament adopted a recommendation calling for stronger EU-Canada cooperation in response to geopolitical tensions and threats to Canada's economic stability and sovereignty. The text urges the Council, Commission and the EU's foreign policy chief to implement summit outcomes and deepen ties in trade, security, climate and other areas. It also asks for follow-up on the June 2025 EU-Canada Summit and for developing new cooperation fields such as culture and youth.

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.
