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

Parliament adopted a resolution on the Global Gateway strategy, assessing its past impacts and setting out a future direction. The resolution calls for reforms to make the initiative more participatory and bottom-up, strengthening the role of partner countries, civil society, and local authorities. It also urges giving the Global Gateway Board decision-making powers and increasing its meeting frequency, while enhancing parliamentary oversight. The text asks for the reformed initiative to be codified in the next Global Europe regulation for 2028-2034.

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).
