Summary

This dossier concerns the non-application of customs duties on imports of certain goods. The amendments tie the suspension to reciprocal measures by the United States and a tariff ceiling, provide for retroactive application and an end date, require monitoring of impacts on EU prices, jobs, fishers and processors, set grounds for suspension including additional US tariffs, and recall the need for new own resources; one amendment rejects the Commission proposal.

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 →

Milestones are the votes that adopt or reject text (not every amendment vote) — the percentage is the share of the group’s Members behind that position. Positions are shown on the text itself: on a rejection motion, a vote for rejection counts as against the text. Click a column heading to open the vote below.
