And with that, tonight's sitting comes to an end.
MEPs will be back tomorrow with a debate on whether to approve new powers for Europol, the EU's police agency - with a final vote at lunchtime.
They will also debate new entry and residence rules for non-EU students and researchers, which also face a final vote at the same time.
After the lunchtime voting session, the sitting resumes at 14.00 BST with a debate on the Commission’s latest proposals to revise EU asylum law.
They will then debate the future of the Schengen zone and new EU tax transparency rules.
In the evening, they will also debate whether the EU should introduce country of origin labelling rules for milk and processed meat products.
