A LIBE committee vote pushed new EU rules on returning asylum seekers through the Parliament with 384 votes in favor, a result that follows the plenary's approval of a non-binding resolution urging cross-border access to abortion care and is being hailed as a right-wing victory.The LIBE result won 384 to 237 while the plenary backed the citizens' initiative My Voice, My Choice by 358 to 202 with 79 abstentions, prompting praise from proponents and warnings from critics about national competence and legal friction.The Parliament has given the
European Commission until the beginning of March next year to say whether and how it will act on the abortion recommendations, and any follow-on measures for returns or cross-border care would depend on Commission proposals and political decisions by member states.
