   The report expands on the role of national parliaments, adding calls for stronger mechanisms and earlier involvement in the legislative process. It introduces new concerns about the legal basis of Article 122 TFEU, particularly regarding the ReArm Europe Plan, and calls for its revision. It adds provisions on regional and local authorities, including financial resources and direct engagement, and on the use of artificial intelligence in assessing legislation. It modifies the approach to the CJEU, softening criticism and adding recommendations for surveys and consultations. The other changes are formal or wording updates, including punctuation, spelling, and rephrasing without altering substance.
