Summary

This dossier sets out the European Parliament's proposals for amending the Treaties. Amendments engage with the proposals of the Conference on the Future of Europe, debating shared competences in education (citizenship education, digital skills, media and information literacy, language learning), common minimum standards, academic freedom and media independence, and disagree over whether the recommendations require Treaty changes.

147 roll-call votes

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
