Summary

This dossier aims to make public capital markets more attractive for companies and facilitate SME access to capital. The amendments adjust the research unbundling rules, create a labelled 'issuer-sponsored research' category with a code of conduct and standards of independence overseen by ESMA, reduce the minimum free-float requirement, address admission to SME growth markets, and propose an EU research marketplace covering small and medium-sized companies.

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 →
