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 a call for stronger supervisory guidance on climate alignment. see the changes →

Committee draft → Tabled for plenary: The report broadens its scope to include new topics such as NBFIs, geopolitical impacts, and the Savings and Investments Union, while softening calls for a fully fledged EDIS. It adds new paragraphs on interest rate disparities, cross-border retail banking, digital euro progress, and NBFI risks, while removing calls for a bank solidarity contribution. It updates paragraphs on Basel III, crypto-assets, and crisis management, adding details on implementation and equivalence reviews. It adds a note on risk sharing and updates financial indicators, and changes the tone on EDIS to gradual development. The other changes are formal: renumbering of paragraphs and minor wording adjustments. see the changes →
