Why it matters

This is a main (final) vote on a dossier — the decisive moment where the European Parliament adopts or rejects a legislative or political text. These are the votes that most directly shape EU law and policy, and the ones citizens and journalists should watch most closely. The outcome was close, which makes individual choices and absences especially consequential.

⚠️This was a close vote — the margin was small relative to the votes cast.

Close vote analysis

The margin was 19 votes. 88 MEPs did not vote.

Could absences have changed the outcome? The number of absent MEPs (88) was larger than the 19-vote margin, so absences were numerically significant.

Absences larger than the margin are numerically significant but do NOT imply the outcome would have changed. That would require modelling how each absent member would have voted, which this analysis does not do.
