2025/2875(RSP) Resolution on a topical subject First reading

Multilateral negotiations in view of the WTO’s 14th Ministerial Conference in Yaoundé, 26 to 29 March 2026

A resolution tabled by political groups, usually on an urgent matter or in reaction to a statement by the Commission or Council. Not binding.

Where it stands: Parliament adopted the text on 12 March 2026. This is its final position on the matter.

  1. Referred to committee
  2. Committee work INTA (International Trade) preparing the report
  3. Tabled for plenary
  4. Plenary vote Adopted 12 March 2026
  5. Parliament’s position Final
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.
