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.

Latest Tabled for plenary → Adopted by Parliament: The resolution softens language on Israel, replacing condemnation with concern and removing references to man-made famine. It expands accountability for war crimes to all parties and removes criticism of EU institutions, instead supporting sanctions on Israeli ministers. The other changes are formal: the decimal separator in the amount is corrected. see the changes →
