What changed
Latest Tabled for plenary → Adopted by Parliament
No change of substance: the two versions differ only in presentation — cover page, numbering or the parts a report carries that the adopted text does not.
Committee draft → Tabled for plenary
AI summary:The report shifts focus from treaty change to improving decision-making within existing frameworks, emphasising efficiency and targeted adjustments. It adds detailed proposals on investment levels, capital markets, and defence, while dropping earlier calls for a permanent fiscal capacity and social progress protocol. Enlargement and the need to prepare for future rounds become a new priority, replacing earlier emphasis on the Competitiveness Compass. The report now stresses the need for democratic legitimacy and communication, and includes an explanatory statement. Other changes are formal or wording: updated references and rephrased sentences without altering substance.
