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: The versions differ only in formal points: decimal separator, citation format, and paragraph numbering are updated. see the changes →
Committee draft → Tabled for plenary: The report expands significantly, adding new recitals and paragraphs on market surveillance, DPP, and circular economy, while shifting from mandatory DPP integration to feasibility assessments. It introduces new calls for definitions of fast fashion and recommerce actors, and for EU-wide certification mechanisms, replacing earlier calls for bans and mandatory accreditation. The changes also refine the role of the responsible person, adding operational requirements and urging the Commission to accelerate evaluations. The other changes are formal and wording: renumbering, rephrasing, and updating references to other legislation. see the changes →
