Summary

A legislative dossier on the elimination of customs duties on certain products. The amendments concern Parliament's first-reading position, including a variant rejecting the Commission proposal, and condition the elimination of duties on the United States abstaining from new measures against the European Union that undermine the Joint Statement of 21 August 2020, with the Commission empowered to suspend the elimination by implementing act if the United States fails to comply.

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
