Parliament adopted its annual report on the Banking Union for 2025, setting out its position on banking supervision, resolution, and deposit protection. The report stresses that the Banking Union remains incomplete without a European Deposit Insurance Scheme and calls for action on risks from non-bank financial intermediaries. It also highlights the need to implement Basel III standards, ensure banks contribute fairly, and address the impact of the war in Ukraine on the banking sector.

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.
