2025/2135(INI) Own-initiative report First reading

Situation of fundamental rights in the European Union in 2024 and 2025

Parliament sets out its own position on a topic. The resolution is not binding but signals what Parliament wants.

Where it stands: Parliament adopted the text on 29 April 2026. This is its final position on the matter.

  1. ✓ Referred to committee 10 July 2025
  2. ✓ Committee work Report adopted 23 February 2026

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.
