What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

Calls on the EU institutions to address the challenges faced by vulnerable groups of people who are underrepresented and unable to have their issues addressed, and to involve them in decision-making
Recalls that only a few successful ECIs have received adequate follow-up by the Commission
Stresses the need for permanent participatory mechanisms that enable citizens to participate in EU decision-making

Quoted from A9-0018/2022, which says more than these lines. Each is a whole paragraph; this site does not rewrite them.
