How we count
- Yes, No and Abstention come from the European Parliament's roll-call voting protocol.
- “Did not vote” is derived: MEPs with a mandate on the voting day for whom no vote was recorded. Abstentions do not count towards this.
- Subsequent vote corrections are shown but do not change the official result.
- Each vote (overall vote, amendment, partial vote) counts separately. Therefore totals may differ from pages that count differently.

What is this about?
- The renewal of authorization for genetically modified cotton MON 88913 is contested due to its herbicide tolerance and association with glyphosate.
- Concerns include potential health risks, environmental harm, and insufficient long-term safety assessments.
- While EFSA found no new hazards, it did not evaluate cumulative or indirect effects.
- The Parliament demands the Commission withdraw its proposal, citing the precautionary principle and global sustainability commitments.
- It also calls for reforms to the GMO approval process to address persistent democratic shortcomings.
