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
PETI — Petitions
Rapporteur
Nils UŠAKOVS S&D

The rapporteur drafts and negotiates the text for the lead committee; each other political group names a shadow rapporteur to follow the file.
