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.

Adds paragraphs on democracy and civil society in Türkiye, citing the case against the Mayor of Istanbul and condemning the crackdown on environmental rights defenders, peaceful protesters and the LGBTIQ+ community ahead of COP31.
