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 amendment to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1818 replaces the term 'controversial weapons' with 'prohibited weapons,' narrowing exclusion criteria to four categories: anti-personnel mines, cluster munitions, biological, and chemical weapons.
- The change excludes weapons like nuclear arms, autonomous systems, and incendiary weapons, despite their severe environmental and humanitarian impacts.
- The original regulation aimed to align sustainable investments with Paris Agreement goals, a purpose now compromised by the redefinition.
- The restricted criteria risk enabling greenwashing, misleading investors seeking climate-conscious options.
- A revision is demanded to incorporate qualitative factors such as environmental and human rights risks.
