What changed
Latest Tabled for plenary → Adopted by Parliament
AI summary:The adopted text replaces the committee report with the final decision, dropping all explanatory background and opinion content.
Committee draft → Tabled for plenary
AI summary:The changes add emphasis on preventing industrial decline and supporting older workers with targeted measures. The text shifts the focus of EGF support from rapid to durable reintegration in quality jobs. New calls are added to speed up the application process and ensure equal visibility of the EGF. The text adds references to energy prices, competitiveness, and reducing regulatory burdens. The other change is formal: an explanatory statement with a committee opinion is added.
