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?
- A motion of censure against the European Commission has been filed over its handling of the EU-Mercosur trade agreement.
- The Commission is accused of disregarding concerns from national parliaments and farmers during negotiations.
- The agreement’s division into separate legal instruments is seen as an attempt to bypass democratic scrutiny.
- Proposed safeguards are deemed insufficient to protect EU agricultural standards and fair competition.
- The motion also highlights a lack of transparency and failure to address key agricultural policy concerns.
