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.
The text, version by version
Latest Tabled for plenary → Adopted by Parliament: The versions differ only in formal points: a decimal separator is corrected. see the changes →
Tabled for plenary → Tabled for plenary: The resolution now includes a definition of cyberbullying and expands the scope to cover AI-enabled abuse and gender-based violence. It adds calls for harmonised criminal law measures, including penalties and a possible EU-wide definition, and for stronger enforcement of the DSA. It introduces new provisions on AI, online gaming, and funding for civil society, while removing references to specific national laws and trade negotiations. The remaining changes are wording adjustments and renumbering of paragraphs. see the changes →
