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 only substantive change removes a reference to the European Green Deal and a call for green procurement from paragraph 26. The other changes are formal: decimal separators are aligned and punctuation corrected. see the changes →
Committee draft → Tabled for plenary: The new version substantially expands the resolution, adding numerous recitals on fundamental rights, vulnerable groups, fiscal constraints, and data needs, and replacing the original paragraphs with more detailed policy proposals. It introduces new priorities such as accessibility standards, youth housing, renovation over new builds, and post-2027 funding strategies, while removing the original annex on input sources. The forwarding clause is updated to include additional institutions and bodies. see the changes →
