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 MON 87708 soybeans is under scrutiny due to concerns over dicamba herbicide tolerance.
- While EFSA found no new risks, potential long-term ecological and health impacts remain insufficiently assessed.
- The European Parliament urges the Commission to withdraw the proposal, citing the precautionary principle.
- It also demands reforms to the GMO approval process to address democratic deficits and lack of consensus among member states.
- Environmental and socio-economic risks linked to herbicide drift are highlighted as key issues.
