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 seeks to reinforce the application of subsidiarity and proportionality principles in EU legislation.
- National parliaments are to be more actively involved through enhanced mechanisms like the early warning system.
- The political objective is to ensure decisions are made as close to citizens as possible while reducing unnecessary regulation.
- The European Court of Justice’s role in reviewing these principles is scrutinized.
- The long-term goal is to strengthen trust in the EU through more transparent and efficient lawmaking.
