Minutes
The minutes of each sitting give details of the exact proceedings and business of the day (documents tabled, debates, votes, explanations of vote, appointments, etc.). The results of votes are also annexed to the minutes.
More about the minutes you can read in the Rules of Procedure of the EP, Rule 172:
Rule 172 : Minutes
1. The minutes of each sitting, containing the decisions of Parliament and the names of speakers, shall be distributed at least half an hour before the beginning of the afternoon period of the next sitting.
In the context of legislative proceedings, any amendments adopted by Parliament are also deemed to be decisions within the meaning of this paragraph, even if the relevant Commission proposal or the Council’s common position is ultimately rejected, pursuant to Rule 52(1) or Rule 61(3) respectively.
The texts adopted by Parliament shall be distributed separately. Where legislative texts adopted by Parliament contain amendments, they shall be published in a consolidated version.
2. At the beginning of the afternoon period of each sitting the President shall place before Parliament, for its approval, the minutes of the previous sitting.
3. If any objections are raised to the minutes Parliament shall, if necessary, decide whether the changes requested should be considered. No Member may speak on the minutes for more than one minute.
