Adopted

555 in favour · 60 against · 13 abstained. 628 members voted.

What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Welcomes the fact that no specific issues were detected by the Court on the regularity of the transactions or following examination of the supervisory and control system of the Council
• Considers that the lack of cooperation from the European Council and from the Council with the discharge authority sends a negative signal to citizens of the Union
• Believes that increased transparency and a proactive approach to sharing information on the part of the Council would be conducive to a better-informed discharge procedure from the outset

Quoted from A9-0067/2022, which says more than these lines. Each is a whole paragraph; this site does not rewrite them.
