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 European Parliament requests an opinion from the ECJ on the compatibility of the EU-Mercosur agreement with EU treaties.
- The focus lies on splitting the agreement into a mixed partnership deal and a trade-only interim agreement under exclusive EU competence.
- Concerns arise over bypassing national parliaments' ratification rights through the interim agreement.
- A key issue is the 'rebalancing mechanism' clause, which could challenge EU environmental and consumer protection policies.
- Additionally, there are fears of weakening the precautionary principle and sanitary standards.
