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: Adds a call for equal application of anti-fraud rules to political groups and for swift recovery of misused funds. Adds support for proxy voting for perinatal Members, noting it falls short of broader voting rights requests. Replaces crèche contract termination note with concerns about service continuity and a call for an independent audit. see the changes →
Committee draft → Tabled for plenary: The report updates budget figures for 2027, including the overall increase and IT budget, and adds stresses on cybersecurity and AI risks. New paragraphs address digital sovereignty, missions, carbon credits, accessibility, childcare, and the Voluntary Pension Fund, reflecting broader policy concerns. Several paragraphs add calls for transparency, cost control, and justification of resource increases, particularly for SPAAK renovation and administrative reforms. The remaining changes are formal or wording updates, such as rephrasing and correcting figures. see the changes →
