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.
Who is working on it
- Lead committee
- JURI — Legal Affairs
- Rapporteur
- Ilhan KYUCHYUK Renew
The rapporteur drafts and negotiates the text for the lead committee; each other political group names a shadow rapporteur to follow the file.
The text, version by version
Latest Tabled for plenary → Adopted by Parliament: Parliament now decides to waive Matej Tonin's immunity rather than not to waive it. The text states that he was elected in June 2024 and was not a Member at the time of the alleged offences. It no longer raises concerns about the timing of the investigation and the request, and adds that the request details his former actions, stems from a broader investigation and shows no evidence of fumus persecutionis. The other changes are wording: the request's transmission and the alleged offences are rephrased. see the changes →
