Parliament adopted a resolution setting out its position on the Commission's planned first comprehensive EU anti-corruption strategy, expected by the end of 2026. The resolution is a non-binding text, so it carries political weight but does not create law. Parliament calls for the strategy to focus on prevention, transparency and integrity, including training for public administrations and measures on lobbying, conflicts of interest and whistleblower protection.

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).
