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: The resolution now calls for applying Article 422 of the Association Agreement to suspend benefits due to Georgia's breaches. It strengthens language on political prisoners, naming more opposition leaders and condemning their arrests and sentencing. It shifts focus from electoral concerns to civil society repression, merging paragraphs and adding calls for release of activists and repeal of restrictive laws. It changes the stance on Hungary and Slovakia, urging them to lift their veto on sanctions rather than deploring their obstruction. The other changes are formal: renumbering and merging of paragraphs. see the changes →
Committee draft → Tabled for plenary: The report now more strongly condemns Georgian Dream's actions, adding details on repression, political persecution, and electoral fraud. It expands calls for sanctions against Georgian officials and criticizes EU member states for obstruction. It adds concerns about alignment with Russia, China, and Iran, and calls for stronger EU engagement. It includes new paragraphs on civil society support, media freedom, and human rights, including LGBTI issues. The other changes are formal: updated forwarding list and heading. see the changes →
