AI:What changed, in short
The main change is that Parliament now refuses discharge to the Council instead of postponing the decision.1 The resolution adds new paragraphs expressing regret and frustration over the Council's non-cooperation, including specific references to the questionnaire and hearing.8 It also updates the reference to the Ombudsman's findings, shifting from general criticism to a specific strategic inquiry.6 Other changes are formal or wording adjustments, such as fixing a typo and rephrasing time references.2345
