Overview
The file concerns the European Parliament's own-initiative report (INI) on the institutional aspects of the report on the future of European competitiveness, commonly referred to as the Draghi Report. The procedure is 2025/2013(INI), and its current status is ongoing, awaiting the Parliament's final vote. The analysis is based on the European Parliament document (A-10-2025-0196-AM-001-001), which is a motion for a resolution containing an amendment by Tobiasz Bocheński on behalf of the ECR Group. This document sets out Parliament's formal response to the Draghi Report. A separate report overview indicates a complete transformation of an earlier draft text, with all original articles deleted and replaced by new material. However, the key provisions analysis states that, for the specific articles examined, the European Parliament made no substantive changes to the draft text, retaining it in its entirety without adding or removing words.
