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 commendation for roaming liberalisation in the Association Agreement and names two CSDP missions in which Moldova participates. The only other change is formal: decimal separators are corrected. see the changes →

Committee draft → Tabled for plenary: The report adds new paragraphs on Moldova's EU accession progress, including specific dates and support for opening negotiation clusters. It expands on hybrid threats and election interference, detailing Russian tactics and calling for increased EU support. It updates financial figures for the Reform and Growth Facility and adds calls for pre-accession funds and social reforms. It introduces new sections on human rights, energy, and security, with specific measures on gender, energy independence, and defence. Other changes are formal or wording: minor rephrasing and heading updates. see the changes →
