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 T304-40, resistant to pests and the herbicide glufosinate, is under scrutiny.
- Concerns focus on insufficient long-term assessments of ecological and health risks, including pesticide residues.
- Increased herbicide use and resistant weeds are seen as threats to biodiversity and sustainable farming.
- The Parliament demands the withdrawal of the Commission’s proposal and reforms to the GMO approval process.
- The aim is to uphold the precautionary principle and ensure fair competition for EU farmers.
