. ‒ UKIP MEPs voted against this legislative, first-reading report on type-approval of L-category vehicles. They are against type-approval because it is total harmonisation, which we are strongly against. They also voted against because it allows the Commission to adopt delegated acts for another five years, and are against extending the Commission’s power.

. ‒ UKIP voted to abstain. This was a codification whereby the text was only updated to include reference to legislation that may have been superseded or amended. There was no change to the substantive text.

. ‒ UKIP MEPs voted against this legislative report. UKIP opposes the re-commitment of this funding programme which assists in the cost of relocating asylum seekers. UKIP believes that Member States which wish to relocate asylum seekers should bear the cost, not the European taxpayer. Moreover, UKIP opposes calls in this report for the funding to assist legal routes of migration which will, unquestionably, attract further migration into Europe.
