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
Dominik TARCZYŃSKI ECR

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: The versions differ only in wording: the text rephrases references to Francisco Assis and the account of the press release and alleged defamation, reorders the phrase about the June 2024 European elections, and drops the word 'constitutionally' before 'enshrined'. see the changes →
