One thing that I don't understand is:

On July 7 there was a vote for this urgent vote to take place. 303 were against, 331 were for, (- 28 people) (so it passed)

Today (July 9th) the actual vote for this law took part. 314 were against, 276 were for (+38) (yet still passed).

Please tell me why MEP's voted for this urgent vote to take place and then later (on July 9th) voted against it ?? Were they misled or something?

They both want it to pass and then be able to say they voted against it when asked about it.

aka deceiving the electorate.
