Adopted no count published - Brexit Adjustment Reserve
Written by an AI from the text voted on. The outcome and the numbers come from Parliament’s official record. Parliament adopted its position on a proposal to adjust the amounts allocated to member states under the Brexit Adjustment Reserve, a fund set up in 2021 to help them cope with the effects of the UK's withdrawal from the EU. The adjustment is a technical, financial and legal change that aligns the fund's regulation with a reduction agreed during the mid-term revision of the EU's long-term budget, without affecting funds already paid out or transferred. Once the amended regulation is adopted, the Commission can update the implementing decisions that set the final national allocations.
