The Parliament adopted the amended tariff-quota regulation on US-origin goods in a session dominated by two votes.
The key substantive amendment — narrowing the potato tariff-quota coverage — passed by 440 to 151 , carried by EPP, S&D, ECR and Renew, with most of PfE voting against. A preceding procedural motion to refer the file back was rejected by 509 to 120 , with EPP, S&D and Renew united against it. Although this resolution arises from an ordinary legislative procedure, the document type is non-legislative: it sets out Parliament's formal political position on adjusting customs duties and opening tariff quotas for certain US-origin goods, and can shape the EU's stance in trade arrangements, but has no direct legal force on its own. The clearest political division emerged on Am 62, where the majority of PfE — including large French (Rassemblement national), Hungarian (Fidesz), Dutch (PVV), Czech (ANO), Austrian (FPÖ), Spanish (Vox) and Polish (Konfederacja) delegations — voted to keep the broader, unnarrowed quota coverage, while the political centre and ECR backed the more restricted definition. Several French delegations (Parti Socialiste within S&D, Renaissance within Renew, and Les Écologistes and Volt within Greens/EFA) also broke from their group lines, generally voting against Am 62 alongside PfE, reflecting particular French sensitivities on agricultural trade with the United States.
