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

   The only substantive change is the addition of '(EU)' before a regulation number in paragraph 54. Other changes are formal: updated headings with dates and references, corrected spacing in a decision number, and capitalization of 'Euratom'. One wording change rephrases a sentence without altering its meaning.

   Postpones the discharge decision and closure of accounts for 2024. Adds calls for more resources, staffing, and better budgeting for the EPPO, citing workload statistics. Strengthens language on Hungary's non-participation and adds calls for action on RRF reporting and conflicts of competence. Adds calls for swift adoption of policies on conflicts of interest, whistleblowing, and support for training. Other changes are formal or wording: updated paragraph numbers, spelling corrections, and rephrasing.
