Adopted

What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Supports the EU’s application for observer status on the Arctic Council; calls for enhanced protection for the Arctic region, including a prohibition on oil exploration and, as soon as possible, on gas exploration
• Reiterates its call on the Commission and the Member States to support an international moratorium on deep seabed mining[18]
• Considers that combating the degradation of the ocean requires a considerable joint effort; calls for global, systemic, integrated and ambitious governance

Quoted from B9-0426/2022, which says more than these lines. Each is a whole paragraph; this site does not rewrite them.
