AI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source
The report now deplores Council cuts and proposes restoring them, with increased funding for many programmes. Adds new priorities: rule of law conditionality, own resources reform, gender equality, and support for Ukraine and Moldova. Expands on climate, biodiversity, and health, with specific increases for EU4Health, LIFE, and Civil Protection. Introduces calls for a single seat of Parliament and changes to building and visitor policies. Other changes are formal or wording: renumbering, minor rephrasing, and updates to cross-references.
