Parliament adopted the amendment on frozen lobsters by 444 votes to 152 , with 54 abstentions — a margin of 292 votes. The winning coalition was led by EPP and S&D, joined by ECR and Renew; PfE, The Left and much of the non-attached members opposed. The single substantive vote concerned the provisional agreement's treatment of HS code 0306 12 10, extending duty-free coverage to frozen lobsters ( Homarus spp. ) in whole form, including smoked or steam- and water-boiled preparations. The grand coalition of EPP, S&D, ECR and Renew carried it comfortably; PfE and The Left voted against, while ESN largely abstained. As a non-legislative own-initiative resolution, this text has no direct legal effect, but it represents Parliament's formal political position and is intended to press the Commission and Council on the scope of duty suspensions, potentially shaping the EU's approach to autonomous tariff measures in this product category.
