  2. Committee draft → Tabled for plenary Draft report (ECON) → Report A10-0171/2026

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

    The report adds extensive new content on SMEs, energy, AI, and defence, and removes calls for an independent competition authority and specific DMA enforcement actions. It introduces calls for a new competition tool, binding time limits, and studies on fines and oligopolies, while expanding merger and State aid sections. It strengthens Parliament's oversight role and adds calls for an interinstitutional agreement and international cooperation. The explanatory statement is updated to reflect these changes, including on DMA financing and merger control. The other changes are formal: renumbering and updated references.
