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

   The adopted text drops a reference to local residents' rights and adds support for expanding the Ombudsman network to candidate countries. The other changes are formal: decimal commas replace points and a regulation number gains 'EC'.

2. Committee draft → Tabled for plenary Draft report (PETI) → Report A10-0016/2024

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

   The report expands on transparency and access to documents, adding calls for reform and extending scope to all EU institutions. It strengthens ethics and accountability provisions, including on lobbying, conflicts of interest, and implementation of reforms after Qatargate. It adds new paragraphs on accessibility for persons with disabilities and on the Ombudsman's acceptance rate, and stresses rights of local residents. It updates language on migration-related actions and recruitment procedures, and adds encouragement for civil society and cooperation with the Petitions Committee. The other changes are formal or wording: updated statistics format, rephrased sentences, and minor terminology adjustments.
