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 versions differ only in formal points: a typo in a regulation number is corrected. see the changes →
Committee draft → Tabled for plenary: Adds provisions on regulatory burden, simplification, and corrective measures for foundations. Expands funding flexibility by encouraging cooperation, clarifying membership rules, and proposing higher donation caps. Proposes a single online reporting system to reduce administrative burden and improve transparency. Shifts the call from a recast proposal to a review of national frameworks that may hinder payments. Other changes are wording refinements and rephrasing. see the changes →
