2025/2009(INI) Own-initiative report First reading

Implementation and streamlining of EU internal market rules to strengthen the single market

Parliament sets out its own position on a topic. The resolution is not binding but signals what Parliament wants.

Where it stands: Parliament adopted the text on 11 September 2025. This is its final position on the matter.

  3. Tabled for plenary 23 July 2025
  4. Plenary vote Adopted 11 September 2025
  5. Parliament’s position Final
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.
