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.

Latest Tabled for plenary → Adopted by Parliament: The resolution no longer recognises González as president but demands full voting results and respect for the election outcome. It adds support for regional governments and international efforts, and welcomes Spain's asylum decision for González. It softens the call for an ICC arrest warrant, asking instead for investigations and accountability. The other changes are formal: decimal commas replace decimal points. see the changes →
