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

Close vote analysis

The margin was 33 votes. 10 MEPs did not vote.

Could absences have changed the outcome? The number of absent MEPs (10) was not larger than the 33-vote margin.

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.
