Requests for split votes
Renew:
§ 51
First part	‘Notes that the revised rules governing the payment of financial contributions for sponsored visitors groups entered into force on 1 January 2017; calls on the Secretary-General to release the assessment of these rules without delay; is of the opinion the current system disregards the fluctuating accommodation and transport costs and fails to keep pace with the inflation and strongly calls for a review of the system for calculating the financial contribution for the groups of visitors as soon as possible in order, among others, to avoid that any benefit can be generated by Members; calls on the Bureau to generalise the reimbursement based on bills for visitors groups;’
Second part	‘reiterates its call to remove the possibility of appointing APAs as head of a group;’
PPE:
§ 57
First part	‘Emphasizes that approximately 67 % of Parliament`s carbon footprint originates from transport of persons; recalls that, by its Decision of 15 May 2017, the Bureau approved the proposal to provide an efficient and high-quality way for Members while minimising the environmental impact through a gradual transition towards electric vehicles for Parliament’s car fleet and the green promotion of all types of transport with a zero-emission operation in the urban environment and to have a 100 % full-electric fleet from 2024; welcomes the various measures and instruments introduced in this respect by DG INLO;’
Second part	‘expects the Bureau to work out a travel reimbursement system which includes the cost of the CO2 offsetting to the price of the travel and incentivise the use of eco-friendly transportation;’
§ 79
First part	‘Acknowledges, in addition, a significant improvement in Parliament’s use of social media,’
Second part	‘and further encourages the use of free open-sources self-hosted social network platforms having special regards to users’ data protection;’
Third part	‘further acknowledges actions related to raising awareness of Union actions, and further urges Parliament to intensify its activity on social media in order disseminate the results of Parliament’s work among the Union citizens; notes also that significant efforts were invested in a comprehensive visitors’ strategy and, with a particular focus on youth, the implementation of the Ambassador School Programme;’
Renew, PPE:
§ 55
First part	‘Supports Parliament’s objective to reduce its carbon emissions as much as possible;’
Second part	‘reiterates its concern that a geographic dispersion of the parliament results in 78 % of all missions by Parliament staff and that the environmental impact is between 11 000 and 19 000 tonnes of CO2 emissions;’
§ 70
First part	‘Stresses that moving Parliament’s official vehicles with a driver only to Strasbourg and back further adds to the financial and environmental impact of the 12 annual missions to Strasbourg;’
Second part	‘welcomes that opportunity for APAs to join for the trip to Strasbourg and back exists but regrets that this option is not used to full capacity; calls on Parliament to allow for all the Parliament and Political groups' staff to also use this option for their trip to Strasbourg and improve its communication on this possibility;’
§ 71
First part	Text as a whole excluding the words: ‘notes that a single seat can only be achieved by a unanimous Treaty change;’ ‘urges the Council to take note of Parliament's position and take its responsibility and act accordingly;’ and ‘stresses that moving Parliament’s official vehicles to Strasbourg could be more efficient by transporting Members, accredited parliamentary assistants (APAs) and members of staff with mission orders; considers that Parliament’s official vehicles should at the very least be filled before organising charter buses when the charter trains between Brussels and Strasbourg are full;’
Second part	‘notes that a single seat can only be achieved by a unanimous Treaty change;’
Third part	‘urges the Council to take note of Parliament's position and take its responsibility and act accordingly;’
Fourth part	‘stresses that moving Parliament’s official vehicles to Strasbourg could be more efficient by transporting Members, accredited parliamentary assistants (APAs) and members of staff with mission orders; considers that Parliament’s official vehicles should at the very least be filled before organising charter buses when the charter trains between Brussels and Strasbourg are full;’
§ 72
First part	‘Underlines that the Union, as one of the signatories of the Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention of Climate Change, vowed to keep the increase in global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels,’
Second part	‘and notes with concern that the 12 journeys per year to Strasbourg unnecessarily increase the carbon emissions produced by Parliament;’

Requests for separate votes
PPE:	§§ 48, 65


Requests for split votes
PPE:
§ 61
First part	‘Recalls Parliament’s regular stance that the Commission should ensure that any trust fund established as a new development tool must always be in line with the Union’s overall strategy and development policy objectives, i.e. the reduction and eradication of poverty’
Second part	‘and must, in particular, ensure that the security interests of European countries do not override the needs of the recipient populations; encourages the Commission to consider limiting financial aid to EUTF projects deflecting from this centreline;’
§ 66
First part	‘Points out that pooling resources from the EDF, the Union budget and other donors in trust funds should not have as a consequence that money flagged for development and cooperation policy does not reach the normal beneficiaries or pursues their original objectives;’
Second part	‘deplores in that regard the fact that while the Union contribution to the EUTF will be made mostly using ODA resources, the EUTF is not focused exclusively on development-oriented objectives; points out that the migration management thematic window received the biggest share of funds in 2018, rising from 17,3 % in 2016 to 30,8 % of EUTF funds in 2018;’
§ 67
First part	‘Notes that not only did migration management increase as a share in all EUTF-approved projects but funds have also increasingly prioritised North African countries, from 23 % of total migration management funds in 2016 to 52 % in 2018;’
Second part	‘deplores the fact that while the Union aims to support “vulnerable and marginalised populations” at the forefront of the EUTF, 55 % of the funding from the migration management window went to projects that aimed to “restrict and discourage irregular migration through migration containment and control” in 2017; warns that using development aid as a means of addressing migration and security not only undermines Union development priorities but can create more poverty and instability that forces people to leave their communities; encourages the Commission in that regard to consider limiting and/or cancelling financial aid provisions to EUTF projects that disrespect the long-term Union development policies;’
§ 69
First part	‘Recalls that EUTF funding coming from development budget lines must not be used for security measures jeopardising migrants’ rights;’
Second part	‘calls the Commission to put in place tangible guarantees that migration-related EUTF projects are not used by the implementing authorities to violate migrants basic human rights, and that in the long term the EUTF migration-related projects do not contribute to the destabilisation of countries and sub-regions, as it is more and more pointed out by the NGOs and local people in northern Niger; stresses, that EUTF projects must integrate human rights at the core of programming and contribute to the realisation of human rights in the countries concerned;’
S&D:
amendment 2
First part	‘Calls on the Commission to ensure that no forced labour and conditions of slavery are used at the working sites of Union co-funded projects, in accordance with international and Union legal frameworks; recommends that the Commission implement a transparent and rigid monitoring system for Union co-funded projects, which should include an anonymous complaints procedure and follow-up;’
Second part	‘calls on the Commission to halt any further financial transactions for the implementation of the “Reconnecting Eritrea and Ethiopia through rehabilitation of the main arterial roads in Eritrea” project until a joint mission of Parliament's Committees on Development and Budgetary Control to Eritrea, tentatively planned for November 2020, can independently verify the working conditions of the National Service conscripts and clarify all the concerns put forward by Parliament;’
