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 simplify the EU Taxonomy by easing disclosure requirements and technical assessment criteria for sustainable economic activities.
- Concerns arise over reducing the list of substances of very high concern from over 4,000 to 493, potentially weakening pollution prevention.
- A 10% materiality threshold allows companies to exclude less significant activities from reporting, risking greenwashing.
- Financial institutions are granted a two-year transition period to replace detailed sustainability reports with generic statements.
- The proposed 'partial taxonomy alignment' lacks clear definitions and may undermine the system's integrity.
