Establishing the Temporary Decarbonisation Fund
Committee report by Pascal Canfin · Parliament’s first vote on a proposed EU law. It sets Parliament’s position for negotiations with the Council. · voted 13:16–13:21
Parliament’s position on proposed laws. It usually needs to agree with the Council before a law is final.
Parliament set out its position on a proposed regulation that would create a Temporary Decarbonisation Fund to support operators in energy-intensive sectors facing a remaining carbon leakage risk, complementing the EU Emissions Trading System and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. Parliament adopted this position at first reading, which means it can now negotiate with the Council before the law is final. Parliament also called on the Commission to refer the matter back to it if the proposal is replaced or substantially amended.

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).
