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 Council takes the final decision, and the act is published in the Official Journal.

Committee draft → Tabled for plenary: The new version adds that support should aim at rapid reintegration and training aligned to labour market needs, and drops the reference to preparing workers for a greener and more digital economy. It adds that the EGF must be accompanied by broader structural policies, that the Commission should monitor the automotive sector and develop targeted measures, and that the developments underline a competitive and innovation-friendly business environment. It adds a recital on the limited and geographically uneven use of the EGF and replaces several paragraphs with new ones on employment growth, training, outreach, monitoring and gender equality. It adds a letter and opinion from the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs with suggestions on the EGF's objectives, conditions, personalised services and time-limited measures. The other changes are formal: the cited intervention criterion is updated from Article 4(2)(a) to Article 4(2)(c) of the EGF Regulation. see the changes →
