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 EU aims to significantly enhance its defense capabilities by 2030 to address growing security threats effectively.
- Key objectives include closing an 800 billion euro investment gap and increasing defense spending to 3.15 percent of GDP.
- Joint procurement, standardized regulations, and a European preference are intended to reduce dependency on third countries.
- Funding will be provided through EU instruments like the SAFE fund and an expanded EIB mandate for defense projects.
- Politically, closer cooperation among member states is sought to overcome fragmentation and boost the competitiveness of Europe’s defense industry.
