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 adopted text removes a recital on falsified allegations and narrows safeguards on international cooperation requests to enhanced scrutiny. It also drops a call to update asylum guidance and shortens corporate due diligence obligations, removing specific TNR-related requirements. see the changes →
Committee draft → Tabled for plenary: The report expands the definition of TNR and adds extensive recitals on its forms, perpetrators, and impact. It strengthens provisions on data collection, victim support, and coordination, including new mechanisms and reporting. It adds detailed measures on digital TNR, Interpol abuse, financial safeguards, and legal accountability. It expands external action and deterrence, including sanctions, travel advisories, and international cooperation. see the changes →
