Committee draft → Tabled for plenary
AI summary:The new version substantially expands the report, adding many new recitals and a detailed resolution with sections on digital infrastructure, connectivity, semiconductors, AI, cloud, cybersecurity, simplification, energy, skills, research, standards, and partnerships. It removes the original 13 paragraphs and replaces them with over 120 new paragraphs, shifting from a short list of concerns to a comprehensive policy framework. The changes are substantive, introducing new policy calls such as a comprehensive risk assessment, a digital public infrastructure plan, and a cloud and AI act. The versions differ only in formal points: the report is updated with new recitals and a restructured resolution, but no specific formal changes are noted.
