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

Parliament adopted a resolution condemning the transformation of criminal groups in Haiti into organised trafficking and exploitation networks, including child recruitment, sexual violence, kidnapping and extortion. It calls for dismantling these networks, treating child victims as victims, and scaling up EU support for anti-trafficking efforts, judicial cooperation, and border monitoring. The resolution also demands full implementation of the UN arms embargo, stronger international cooperation, and increased humanitarian assistance.

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).
