Members of European Parliament (MEPs), meeting for a plenary session, voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to adopt a resolution outlining major conditions for the approval of any final settlement on the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union (EU).
Adopted by 516 votes in favor to 133 against, with 50 abstentions, the resolution establishes the key principles by which the European Parliament will be willing to greenlight the outcomes of Brexit negotiations.
The resolution will guide the imminent negotiations, and any final agreement will need to win the approval of MEPs prior to implementation.
