Summary

The dossier concerns European green bonds. The amendments set requirements for bonds using the 'European green bond'/'EuGB' or 'Verified green bond'/'VGB' designation, align them with the taxonomy of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 and the Paris Agreement objective of carbon neutrality by 2050, regulate external reviewers and greenwashing, debate excluding nuclear energy and fossil gas, and address issuance by sovereigns and the European Investment Bank.

Plenary votes

1 roll-call votes

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 →
