Scary number of Finnish names in that list.

What? According to http://bit.ly/RcTxfR only one from Finland voted for ACTA.

Exactly one. And Takkula is an opportunist turncoat who has pretty much zero chance of being re-elected in the next MEP election. (The centre party probably won't accept him on their list.)

Ok, correction: Finnish-sounding names

21 French out of 39. Once again, I'm proud of my country. Sigh.

Count by party not by country. EPP of course.

Well, there's 28 Poles in EPP, and none of them voted pro-ACTA :) I guess they were scared by the protests in january-february this year.

The information you're looking for should appear at https://www.votewatch.eu shortly.

You can see all votes here: https://www.votewatch.eu/cx_vote_details.php?id_act=3055&... Including filtering by vote and country.

Not a list, but chances are they were from http://www.eppgroup.eu (based on today's press release at http://www.eppgroup.eu/press/showpr.asp?prcontroldoctypeid=1...)

That group (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_People%27s_Party_%28Eu...) is larger than those 39 votes against and 165 abstains, though.

For the curious: http://www.nrc.nl/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/acta.jpg shows what the EU parliament looked like today.

Yup, that's a nice reason to go vote at the next EU Parliament elections.

I couldn't find anything at the moment, only the results of a recommendation (With some of the names you're looking for): http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?type=REPORT...

Maybe later, the procedure file will be updated, it has this new vote only listed under 'forecast': http://www.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/popups/ficheprocedure.do?...

I don't know, but there definitely should be. (Given that we vote for these people, who should at least know what they're actually doing. In any case, the parliament is still in session, (http://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/headlines/) I hope to hear a bit more about this in the hours to come.

Doesn't the EU Parliament use electronic voting? In which case there should be public records on the EU Parliament website.

Even if it wasn't electronic, it would still be published online (like most parliaments) :)

When I visited the EP recently we were told the speaker just does an eyeball estimate from a show of hands when it's not close. Seemed pretty untransparent.

I think you can see here: https://www.votewatch.eu/cx_vote_details.php?id_act=1189&...

Nope, 2010. This was a sane resolution, authored by the Greens and other center-left parties, asking for more transparency and putting some limits and sanity checks on the contents of the treaty, and it didn't pass: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?type=MOTION...

I think the parliament did end up voting a similar resolution though.

Here's one earlier resolution that did pass, strictly about the lack of democracy and not the content of the treaty: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?type=MOTION...

There are a few more, but it's confusing because sometimes the votes are only on some paragraphs of the resolution. The paragraphs aren't easily cross-referenced, and I don't know if this kind of vote is final.

There's a full list at www.ehrenhauser.at/assets/ACTA-RollCall.pdf

The best information I can find about who voted how is this, which seem to show that those that voted against where from the UK and the Netherlands. (See separate tab By Country).

http://www.itsyourparliament.eu/votes/500.html

Those are the results of a vote back in 2010.

Bah, sorry.
