The Commission proposed to mobilise the European Union Solidarity Fund (EUSF) to provide assistance to Malta and Italy for storm Harry in January 2026 and to Portugal and Spain for storms in January and February 2026. Parliament approved the budget decision, meaning the assistance can be released to the four member states. The rapporteur supports swift adoption of the Commission proposal and the rapid release of the financial assistance, and calls on the Commission to deliver the contribution with particular urgency.

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.
