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 only substantive change removes the mention of natural gas and biomass as transitional fuels for district heating. The other changes are formal: decimal commas are replaced with decimal points in several figures. see the changes →
Committee draft → Tabled for plenary: The report expands from 29 to 58 paragraphs, adding detailed recitals on Russian energy dependence, domestic production, and infrastructure threats. New operational paragraphs call for banning Russian gas by 2027, sanctions on LNG carriers, and diversification plans. The report broadens energy security to include defence, cyber threats, critical infrastructure, and affordability risks. It adds provisions on data, standardisation, and ENTSO-E cooperation, and updates the security of supply architecture. The other changes are formal and wording: recitals rephrased and paragraphs renumbered. see the changes →
