Adopted

What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Calls on the Member States to draw up annual reports on democracy, the rule of law and fundamental rights, including equality and the rights of persons belonging to minorities
• Welcomes the Commission’s 2020 Rule of Law Report (‘the Report’) and the importance that it places on the justice system, as well as the country-specific chapters
• Regrets that the application of Cooperation and Verification Mechanism still prevents some EU citizens from fully benefitting from the area of freedom, security and justice

Quoted from A9-0199/2021, which says more than these lines. Each is a whole paragraph; this site does not rewrite them.
