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 adopted resolution is Parliament’s final position; it is not itself law.

The text, version by version
Latest Tabled for plenary → Adopted by Parliament: Adds a call for external prudential oversight of the EIB and a call to amend the exclusion list to finance weapons and ammunition. The other changes are formal: decimal points replaced with commas in numbers. see the changes →
Committee draft → Tabled for plenary: The report expands its scope, adding detailed recitals on EIB Group structure, investment figures, and external reports like Draghi and Letta.

New paragraphs cover geographical balance, simplification, SME support, defence financing, and social infrastructure, including housing. The report adds sections on Global Gateway, transparency, and accountability, with calls for interinstitutional agreement and human rights due diligence.
