A strategic approach to pharmaceuticals in the environment

Part of the text

Rejected

This was a vote on one part of the text — a paragraph, a recital or a block of them — not on the text as a whole.

308 in favour · 374 against · 8 abstained. 690 members voted.

What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Calls on the Commission to coordinate cooperation on schemes aimed at avoiding improper disposal of pharmaceuticals
• Calls on the Member States to establish, widely promote and fully enforce provisions for take-back schemes for unused medicines
• Calls on the Commission and the Member States to promote vaccination as a disease prevention measure, so as to minimise the need for pharmaceuticals

Quoted from B9-0242/2020, which says more than these lines. Each is a whole paragraph; this site does not rewrite them.
