It's not the topic of the vote I'm trying to clarify but rather trying to make sense of that web page showing who is voting for what, and how, if at all that is connected to the European Parliament vote. That website suggests overwhelming support for the proposal at both state and representative level, I'm not sure what to make of that.

Yeah it seems to be backwards, they voted for an "Extension of the temporary derogation", which I assume means if do you want to take more time to discuss this problem vote yes, or vote no to enact the proposed law now. Which is why the greens are paradoxically for the proposal and the EPP is against.

It could be, although it also seems that "opposing" representatives are usually of the left/green persuasion and the right wing is mostly "supporting", which is not what I'd expect to see in that case. All I can say for sure is that it's very confusing.

EDIT: thanks for that link ๐Ÿ˜
