Parliament adopted a resolution on how the Maritime Spatial Planning Directive affects fisheries in selected fishing areas and sea basins. The text finds uneven implementation, limited benefits for fisheries, and calls for better stakeholder engagement, data, and cross-border cooperation. MEPs ask the Commission to revise the directive through the forthcoming Ocean Act and to set binding targets.

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).
