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

The draft amending budget enters the 2025 surplus of EUR 2,095 million into the 2026 budget, reducing member states' GNI-based contributions by that amount. Parliament approved the Council position, meaning the spending is approved and the amending budget is definitively adopted. Parliament calls for new own resources of at least EUR 60 billion per year to finance the next multiannual financial framework.

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).
