Parliament adopted its first-reading position on a proposed directive on a single application procedure for a single permit for third-country nationals to reside and work in a member state, and on common rights for third-country workers legally residing there.¶¶ The proposal is a recast: it codifies unchanged provisions of earlier acts together with identified amendments, without changing their substance.¶ Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter to it again if the Commission replaces, substantially amends or intends to substantially amend its proposal.¶ As an agreement was reached between Parliament and Council, Parliament's position corresponds to the final legislative act, Directive (EU) 2024/1233.¶
