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.

The text, version by version
Committee draft → Tabled for plenary: The changes adjust the market stability reserve's operation, extending validity of allowances until 2033 and partially 2035, and adding provisions for their invalidation. They also revise the Commission's role, requiring impact assessments and evaluations of remaining allowances, and considering stronger price curtailment instruments. The text removes recitals on emergency mechanisms and early reports, replacing them with new requirements for distributional assessments and invalidation timelines. Other changes are formal or wording: renumbering and rephrasing of recitals. see the changes →
