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

The report expands significantly, adding detailed calls for stronger enforcement, transparency, and monitoring of EU law, including specific data on infringement cases and sectoral concerns. It stresses the need for annual reporting, criticises the Commission's selective enforcement, and urges action on rule of law and fundamental rights. New paragraphs cover simplification, impact assessments, and sector-specific implementation issues in trade, environment, energy, and agriculture. The report also addresses transparency of infringement criteria, pre-litigation dialogues, and the need for better data and stakeholder involvement. The other changes are formal: renumbering of paragraphs and minor wording adjustments.
