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.

Tabled by Marlene Mortler · PPE
Added: (4 a) To limit the socio-economic impact of a shift to mercury-free fillings on the costs of dental care for patients and dentists, Member States should endeavour to ensure appropriate reimbursement is made available for mercury-free alternatives. The phase-out of dental amalgam should be accompanied by professional training for dentists, where appropriate, in order to adjust to new techniques.
