I find it useful to look in detail at how the EP votes. It gives a good indication of the political mood of the chamber and their likely future political positions.
The European Parliament voted on their ‘Resolution on the Chemical Strategy for Sustainability’ on 10 July 2020.
The text was easily carried.
Looking at the excellent VoteWatch (link) the numbers were:
For 579, Against 18, and Abstentions 84
The winning coalition was made up of the GUE, Greens, S&D, Renew, and EPP. Voting loyalty was strong.
Voting against were 12 German AFD members, one Renew member (Frederick Federley), and 3 Dutch ECR members.
A block of 30 abstentions came from the Italian delegation of the IDG group, and one Czech. 51 of the ECR Group abstained.
