   ▸ AIAI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

   The only substantive change removes the obligation for joint undertakings to report on climate mainstreaming and the European Green Deal. All other changes are formal or wording updates: titles, citations, and references to the Court of Auditors are streamlined.

2. Committee draft → Tabled for plenary Draft report (CONT) → Report A10-0056/2025

   ▸ AIAI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

   The new version postpones discharge and closure of accounts for all ten joint undertakings for financial year 2023, instead of granting them. It adds numerous new calls and paragraphs on innovation, transparency, gender balance, staffing, and digital sovereignty. It changes several welcomes to notes and adds calls for corrective actions on financial and recruitment issues. It adds specific paragraphs on ITER, universities, and digital sovereignty, and modifies headings. The other changes are formal: numbering updates and minor wording adjustments.
