The shrinking space of civil society in Europe
This dossier concerns the shrinking space of civil society in Europe. The amendments debate the role and funding of civil society organisations and NGOs, place primary responsibility on Member States, cite obligations under EU and international law, the Charter of Fundamental Rights and the Treaties, condemn attempts to control, over-regulate, intimidate or discriminate against civil society actors, and call for monitoring such as a civic space index.

Plenary votes
1 roll-call votesIn 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 →
