Qualified Majority Voting (QMV) A voting procedure in the Council of Ministers of the European Community and the
European Council. Each member state of the European Union is awarded a particular number of votes, from 10 votes for the largest countries (Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and France) to two for the smallest (Luxembourg). For a measure to be passed under QMV, it needs to have an aggregate vote of over 71 per cent of the total. Since this system benefits the smaller countries, whose number of votes are disproportionate to their population, at the insistence of Germany a change was adopted in the Treaty of
Nice. In future, after a measure has been passed by QMV, a country can request that the countries in favour represent at least 62 per cent of the EU's population to be adopted. In return, the threshold of QMV was increased to around 73 per cent of Council votes.
