Nope, 2010. This was a sane resolution, authored by the Greens and other center-left parties, asking for more transparency and putting some limits and sanity checks on the contents of the treaty, and it didn't pass: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?type=MOTION...
I think the parliament did end up voting a similar resolution though.
Here's one earlier resolution that did pass, strictly about the lack of democracy and not the content of the treaty: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?type=MOTION...
There are a few more, but it's confusing because sometimes the votes are only on some paragraphs of the resolution. The paragraphs aren't easily cross-referenced, and I don't know if this kind of vote is final.
