MEPs and the Commission examine OLAF and EPPO findings, RRF controls and rule‑of‑law conditionality to protect the EU budget, then turn to financial literacy and regulation of ‘finfluencers’ with proposals for lifelong education, clearer disclosures and safeguards against hidden advertising, conflicts of interest and online scams.
Co‑rapporteurs, the Commission and political groups clash over establishing an EU‑wide ‘only yes means yes’ standard under Article 83 TFEU, exposing divisions on EU competence, harmonised consent‑based definitions, feminism, migration, racism and victims’ rights while proponents urge binding legislation across all Member States.
Parliament debates control of the EIB Group’s 2024 activities, with scrutiny of green‑project risks, conditionality, transparency, defence financing, external lending and SME access, as the EIB, Commission and political groups set out competing views on risk‑taking, accountability and EU added value ahead of the vote.

In this chapter
From opening of the sitting and referral of the Ombudsman report, through the rapporteur’s and Ombudswoman’s presentations, Commission reaction, and a polarised debate among groups and individual MEPs on transparency, NGOs, migration and AI, to catch‑the‑eye statements and institutional closings ahead of the vote.
