Parliament adopted a resolution on drug trafficking in Europe's waters, covering border protection and support for law enforcement officers. Parliament adopted the text as its official position, meaning it states Parliament's stance without creating law. The resolution condemns attacks and deaths linked to drug trafficking and calls for stronger maritime surveillance, intelligence-sharing and international cooperation along trafficking routes.

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).
