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: No change of substance: the two versions differ only in presentation — cover page, numbering or the parts a report carries that the adopted text does not. see the changes →
Tabled for plenary → Tabled for plenary: The resolution now calls on the UN General Assembly to renew the IGF mandate, while shifting support from member states to the UN. Adds a new paragraph urging member states and the Commission to secure a positive UN resolution for the IGF's future. Expands rejection to include corporate-controlled internet and intergovernmental governance, and adds a recital on the EU digital strategy. Other changes are wording: recitals reordered and rephrased, and paragraphs renumbered. see the changes →
