Overall Result
- 220 For
- 396 Against
- 37 Abstention
- 65 Did not vote
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.
Proposal to reject the text
This is not a vote on the substance of the text, but on a proposal to reject it as a whole. Voting in favour is therefore a vote against the text; if the proposal is rejected, the procedure continues.

What is this about?
- The amendment to Regulation (EU) 2024/1348 relaxes the criteria for applying the 'safe third country' concept.
- Member states may now act without a prior connection to the applicant if agreements with third countries exist.
- The aim is to create a more efficient and uniform EU asylum policy, preventing abuse and speeding up procedures.
- Vulnerable groups, such as unaccompanied minors, remain exempt unless security risks are identified.
- Transparency and coordination among member states are enhanced through mandatory reporting obligations.
