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

Parliament adds a recital and a paragraph describing recent hybrid attacks, including incidents attributed to Russia and the assault on Ceuta, and calls for an independent investigation into the latter. It also welcomes the completion of the cyber coordination centre project and progress towards a permanent EU Cyber Defence Coordination Centre, and calls for its swift operationalisation. The other changes are formal: a recital letter and decimal separator are updated and footnote markers are removed.
