Thank you very much, Mr. Stachowski. So, because you kindly informed me yesterday about this, I have been checking on a technical level, as here we have two levels: the political question, and I think your exchange was very political, and I totally respect it. In relation to the point that you mentioned about the compromises and how they integrate existing amendments or not, I'm familiar with this as a coordinator in the Internal Market Committee. I have only to tell you that I have taken advice from the secretariat, and they have told me, and I have no doubt about having a question on this, that on the basis of the rules of this committee, apparently, these compromises consider all the elements in it. And that's the reason why I technically cannot change anything here at the technical level.
So there is the political request to postpone this vote. I would like you to go for a vote on this. So, I would like to open the vote on whether you change the order of business today based on the amendment of Mr. Freund. Who is in favor, and who is against? Please, let's check this electronically. So, I close the vote.
There are 16 against and 12 in favor, so we continue with the agenda as foreseen. We come to the chair's announcement. There is interpretation provided in the languages set out in the news of the Cont Committee, and web streaming is also taking place. Then we come to item three: protection of the European Union's financial interests. I don't know if our chair wants to have the floor quickly or if we can start immediately with the vote.
Speaker 7
You, Chairman. I would like to thank all those who worked on this file. We had over 10 technical meetings with all shadow reporters. All were invited, regardless of political group. We have looked at compromise amendments covering a host of different amendments from the left, the Greens, the Socialists, and, of course, amendments from the EPP and all those who worked hard on this file.
Speaker 6
We looked at defending the EU's financial interests. As my colleague pointed out, amendments can be tabled at plenary level, so further amendments can be put to the report at that stage. I would like to thank all those who have already tabled amendments, irrespective of their political group, because this is a technical matter protecting the EU's financial interests. Very important issue. Thank you.
Proceed to the vote.
Andreas Schwab
Then you don't have to take the headphones. Before we start the vote, I would like to inform you that Mr. Deutsch is replaced by Ms. Furey. Miss Mister Ericsson is replaced by Miss Timgren. No?
Ericsson is present. Miss Timgren.
Andreas Schwab
It's written here. I see that you are here, and I welcome you. But who is replacing Miss Timgren then? Brudzinski. Okay.
Thank you very much. So, there is a sense in reading this out. For the first time, I understand it. Mister Gonzales Ponce is replaced by Raul, whom I have already seen. And finally, Mr. Panayiotto Filias is replaced by Thomas Geisel.
Yes. Excellent. Good. Like that, any questions? No.
Then we can kick off the vote. And I would like then to start with the vote. There is, in the report of Mr. Sanchez, a compromise amendment one. Who is in favor? Who is against it?
Maybe we check that so that we have a bit of an overview of how this vote went. So, who is in favor of compromise amendment 1? Please go for the check. One vote is missing. Now closing.
16 in favor, 9 against. Then we come to compromise amendment 2 bis, no, 2. Sorry. 2. Compromise amendment two was adopted in favor against, I think it's the same majority.
Compromise amendment two bis was adopted in favor, against, and abstentions by the same majority. Compromise amendment three passed in favor, against, and abstentions. So I think it's, yeah, you have said, yeah. Thank you very much. We will confirm that, but the majority does not change.
So it's adopted. And if you want to have a check, you tell me. Compromise Amendment four passed in favor, against, and abstentions. Maybe we should check that. Compromise Amendment 4.
Please open the vote. Please close the vote. So, 16 in favor, 10 against. Compromise amendment five, in favor, against, abstentions, adopted. Compromise amendment six, in favor, against, abstentions, adopted.
Compromise amendment seven was adopted in favor, against, and with abstentions. Compromise amendment eight was adopted with votes in favor, against, and abstentions. Compromise amendment nine was adopted in favor, against, and abstentions. Compromise amendment 10 was adopted with votes in favor, against, and abstentions. Compromise amendment 11, in favor, against, abstentions, also adopted.
Compromise Amendment 13 was adopted in favor, against, and with abstentions. Compromise amendment 14 in 2,128. Exactly. Sorry. There is amendment 128 in favor, against, and abstentions adopted.
Now, compromise amendment 14 in favor, against, abstentions adopted. Compromise amendment 15 was adopted with votes in favor, against, and abstentions. Okay. 15. 15.
Compromise Amendment 15. We make a check. Please vote. We close the vote. 16 in favor, 12 against.
Compromise amendment 16: in favor, against, abstentions adopted. Compromise amendment 17: in favor, against, abstentions, adopted. Compromise amendment 18: in favor, against, abstentions, adopted. Compromise amendment 19 was adopted with votes in favor, against, and abstentions. Compromise amendment 20 was adopted with votes in favor, against, and abstentions.
Compromise amendment 21 was adopted with votes in favor, against, and abstentions. And that means we come to the final vote. We open the vote, and then we close the vote. And it was adopted 15 to 12 with one ex-abstention. Then we come to the... yeah.
Please, Gilles.
Speaker 9
No. Thank you, Kjell. Just pursuant to rule 56.4 of the rules of procedure, the Renew Group would like to table a minority position on this report. Thank you.
Andreas Schwab
Thank you. If I have understood our colleague Lalouk rightly, the last time when there was a special opinion, I think you have a few hours to do it directly after this vote. So, please consider that there is a bit of a time frame.
Andreas Schwab
Thank you so much. Okay. Then, we come to the next report that you have to vote on. It's a proposal for a Council regulation laying down the multi-annual financial framework. Our appraiser is Mr. Protas.
Speaker 11
Thank you, Chair. I think everything is clear. We have a good report and good compromises. Thank you to all groups for their constructive cooperation. I think that's all.
Andreas Schwab
Thank you so much, Jacek, for the excellent work. We come to the vote. I would like to start with Compromise Amendment One. Who is in favor? Who is against? Abstentions? Adopted. We come to compromise amendment two, in favor, against, abstentions: adopted. We come to compromise amendment three: in favor, abstentions; sorry, against, abstentions. Adopted. We come to compromise amendment four.
In favor, against, abstentions adopted. Come to compromise amendment five. In favor, against, abstentions adopted. We come to compromise amendment six, adopted in favor, against, and abstentions. We come to amendment 179 of our colleague Gilles Boyer, in favor, against, abstentions adopted. We come to compromise amendment seven, adopted in favor, against, with abstentions.
And then we come to the final vote. So I open the vote, and if you want to participate, we all wait a moment. And then, yeah, there are still two votes missing. Probably, you don't want to vote. So we closed the vote, and it's adopted with 25 votes in favor and 3 against.
Congratulations. And thank you very much. And like that, we already come to any other business. Our next meeting is on March 18, and the meeting after is on March 23 and March 24. Come to the coordinators.
