How a file moves through Parliament
A file is referred to one lead committee (others may give an opinion). Its rapporteur writes a draft report, committee members table amendments, and the committee votes to adopt the report. The report is then tabled for all MEPs; political groups can table further amendments, which are voted on before the final vote in plenary. The Council takes the final decision, and the act is published in the Official Journal.

The text, version by version
Latest Tabled for plenary → Adopted by Parliament: The versions differ only in formal points: punctuation and wording adjustments. see the changes →
Committee draft → Tabled for plenary: Adds a call for own resources reform and sustainable revenue, and extends cybersecurity support to institutions, while adjusting language on agency funding and tasks. Modifies wording on eu-LISA and EUAA appropriations, noting concern about cost increases and welcoming EUAA reinforcement, with calls for agencies to be equipped. Removes a phrase about decentralised agencies' budgets under Heading 7, simplifying the statement without changing substance. The other changes are formal: updating a regulation reference with official details. see the changes →
