Against Ponsati404 yes, 247 no and 42 abstentions and finally for Comin 404 yes, 247 no, and 42 abstentions.

The waiver of immunity opens the way for a new examination by the Belgian justice of the extradition requests issued by Spain against Puigdemont and Comin who live in Belgium.

Ponsati, on the other hand, lives in Scotland, a country that has suspended this examination, pending the decision of the MEPs.
