Nonetheless, experts expect the final agreement to be revealed by the end of March as the Parliament is pushing to close all the open legislative processes before the upcoming European elections scheduled in June.

So basically, the law's unlikely to change much before being pushed to vote, which considering how stupid it is, it's likely to be outright rejected like Chat Control by the Parliement.

Still, it's good to raise awareness on the issue.
