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. For a law, Parliament’s adopted text is its first-reading position; Parliament and the Council then negotiate a common text (trilogues) which both must approve before it is published as law.

Planting authorisation rules are revised: waivers for unused pre-2025 authorisations, validity extensions, and new restrictions to avoid oversupply. Support for wine tourism, diversification, and disease prevention is added, with new beneficiaries and higher funding rates. Labelling rules for de-alcoholised wines and export exemptions are updated, along with new provisions for old vines and coupage.
