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 report focuses on improving access to finance for SMEs and high-growth startups in the EU by reducing regulatory and administrative burdens.
- Key objectives include simplifying reporting requirements and enhancing private capital mobilization, particularly through venture capital and institutional investors.

- The political goal is to make Europe a more attractive hub for innovation and scaling, while maintaining openness to global investment.
- Public funds should act as catalysts for private investment rather than substitutes.
