🎉 New Feature: More information on Amendments in the Data Export

Our data export now contains more information on amendments. For votes on amendments, you can now get the amendment number, a subject (most often a paragraph in the original text) and - most importantly - the authors of the amendment.

🎉 **New Feature Released: Advanced Filter Capabilities**

We released a new feature some days ago: When searching for votes, you can now apply different filters, e.g. based on day of the vote, or filtering by Country referenced in a text, or the responsible committee.

The idea of the substack is to once a month look back at the major votes in the EP, the Council of the EU and other EU institutional stories that I'd like to highlight.

For the data, I am drawing on @howtheyvote.eu and the SWP Council Monitor (now updated up to June 2025).

We’re proud to support @howtheyvote.eu with our open source donation for their important work: making EU politics more transparent for everyone.
