Close vote analysis

The margin was 7 votes. 72 MEPs did not vote.

Could absences have changed the outcome? The number of absent MEPs (72) was larger than the 7-vote margin, so absences were numerically significant.

Groups whose absences exceeded the margin

S&Dhad 16 absent MEPs (margin was 7)
EPPhad 14 absent MEPs (margin was 7)
Lefthad 10 absent MEPs (margin was 7)
ECRhad 8 absent MEPs (margin was 7)
Renewhad 8 absent MEPs (margin was 7)

Countries whose absences exceeded the margin

Italy (12 absent)Spain (9 absent)France (8 absent)

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.
