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 new paragraph on Soviet occupation history, urging research and de-Stalinisation, and noting authorities' acquiescence to relativising communist crimes. The other change is formal: a footnote reference is removed from the directive name. see the changes →
Committee draft → Tabled for plenary: Adds extensive new recitals and paragraphs on Georgia's democratic backsliding, political repression, and human rights abuses. Strengthens calls for EU sanctions against Georgian officials and Ivanishvili, and for conditional engagement with the authorities. Adds details on elections, legislation, and foreign policy misalignment, including new concerns about sanctions circumvention and Russian influence. Updates wording and adds references to institutions and public support for EU integration. The other changes are formal and wording: rephrasing and minor textual adjustments. see the changes →
