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: No change of substance: the two versions differ only in presentation — cover page, numbering or the parts a report carries that the adopted text does not. see the changes →

Committee draft → Tabled for plenary: The report expands on Banking Union and CMU, adding goals for capital mobilisation and recognising trade-offs in consolidation. It adds new sections on monetary dominance, ECB independence, fiscal rules, and sovereign debt risks. It strengthens calls for NBFI regulation, including money market funds, crypto-assets, and leverage. It adds provisions on commercial real estate, geopolitical risks, and climate-related risks. Other changes are formal or wording: headings, rephrasing, and references to reports. see the changes →
