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

Parliament adopted a resolution on the feasibility of a 28th tax regime, an optional corporate legal framework for innovative companies, start-ups and scale-ups, including tax provisions. The regime aims to complement national frameworks, not harmonise them, and to reduce regulatory and tax fragmentation that burdens cross-border growth. The resolution is Parliament's official position, and it calls for the regime to support EU competitiveness and strategic autonomy.

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).
