Parliament adopted a recommendation on the changing geopolitical situation in East Asia and the need for closer cooperation with like-minded partners in the region. The text calls for deeper EU engagement with Japan, the Republic of Korea and Taiwan on security, defence, economic resilience and emerging technologies. It also reaffirms the EU's commitment to peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and rejects any unilateral change of the status quo.

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.
