Excessive deficit procedure: speeding up and clarifying the implementation

Amendments include outright rejection of the Commission proposal and proposals to repeal the Stability and Growth Pact, and rework recitals on the 3% deficit and 60% debt reference values under the TFEU, debt sustainability, net primary expenditure, the COVID-19 response, the Paris Agreement climate goals, full employment, and exceptional circumstances allowing deviation from the fiscal path.

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 →
