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 resolution addresses the proposed authorization of genetically modified sugar beet variety KWS20-1 for food and feed, which is resistant to herbicides like glyphosate, dicamba, and glufosinate.
- Concerns are raised about the lack of long-term studies on toxicological effects and cumulative impacts of pesticide residues.
- The increased use of complementary herbicides may accelerate resistance in weeds, harming soil health and biodiversity.
- The authorization conflicts with EU sustainability commitments and the precautionary principle.
- The Parliament urges the Commission to withdraw the proposal due to insufficient evidence of safety.
