MaximHere is the list of amendments to be voted on today: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/sedcms/votingList/(A10-0040_2026)_Sippel.pdf
You can find the amendments here: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/A-10-2026-0040_EN.html (click the Amendments dropdown).
There are different amendments that are quite similar, limiting the collection to necessary data (30, 31) or protecting (30) or even banning application to E2EE (36), 2 identical limitations to 1 year (33 and 31).
There are a fair bit of other topics to be voted on before the vote on chatcontrol starts. Livestream: https://multimedia.europarl.europa.eu/en/webstreaming/plenary-session_20260326-0900-PLENARY

Birgit Sippel taking the floor (11:13:25 if anyone wants to check the recording later) after some technical issues with the microphones.
Mentions the vote two weeks ago, says it was based on 5 years of experience. Supports the position of two weeks ago, accuses Council of having left the negotiation table. Supports scanning of known material, rejects scanning unknown material, asks for the same decision again. Protests against disinformation in the last days.
The Proposal was rejected!
Here's the votes on the Comission Proposal. In favor 228. Against: 311. No extension of chatcontrol 1.0 for now, meaning the legislation will expire soon by April 3rd, making it effectively illegal to keep scanning voluntarily!
kellerkindt@maxim thanks for keeping us updated, but what do you mean with
36 approved ban application to E2EE
For me this reads as "approved the ban for applications to use end to end encryption". I must be mistaken... Right?
@kellerkindt I understand how that might be confusing.
The amendment that was approved does ban E2EE communication from being scanned. (no ("ban") application of scanning E2EE communication)
However, given that the Commission proposal was rejected as a whole, the amendments are pretty much irrelevant anyway.
@maxim thanks for the clarification
