Simplification of the implementation of harmonised rules on artificial intelligence (Digital Omnibus on AI)
Committee report by Arba Kokalari, Michael McNamara · Parliament’s first vote on a proposed EU law. It sets Parliament’s position for negotiations with the Council. · voted 11:30–11:36
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 proposal to simplify how harmonised rules on artificial intelligence are implemented, amending the AI Act and the EASA Basic Regulation. The position postpones the application date for certain AI systems to 2 December 2027 for Annex III and 2 August 2028 for Annex I, replacing the Commission's proposed link to a decision. It also includes targeted adjustments on AI literacy, data processing for bias detection, notified bodies, cybersecurity, and sandboxes. Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter back if it substantially amends its proposal.

positions recorded
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).
