AI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source
The new version substantially expands the resolution, adding numerous recitals on fundamental rights, vulnerable groups, fiscal constraints, and data needs, and replacing the original paragraphs with more detailed policy proposals. It introduces new priorities such as accessibility standards, youth housing, renovation over new builds, and post-2027 funding strategies, while removing the original annex on input sources. The forwarding clause is updated to include additional institutions and bodies.
