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: Adds a paragraph on political deadlock after the 2025 elections, urging parties to resolve it. Revises the description of judicial reform consultations, now noting the government submitted draft legislation and received a Venice Commission opinion. The other changes are formal or wording: a typo fix and an updated directive citation. see the changes →
Committee draft → Tabled for plenary: The report adds many new paragraphs on foreign interference, media freedom, minority rights, and public administration. It strengthens calls for Kosovo's EU path, including visa liberalisation and membership applications. It updates the dialogue section to include mutual recognition and new calls on Serbia. It adds new requirements on labour, energy, environment, and digital alignment. The only formal change is a spelling correction. see the changes →
