Legislative Observatory

The Legislative Observatory is an administrative, forecasting, information and

research tool for EU legislative and non-legislative procedures involving the

European Parliament.

The Observatory consists of a series of procedure factfiles listing all the documents

and key events relating to a given procedure and the players involved at each

stage. There are three main stages in a procedure:

the pre-legislative stage, possibly in the form of a preparatory document supplying the context of the procedure;

the actual progress of the procedure, from the initial proposal or vote in committee to the legislative act or final opinion;

the follow-up to the legislative act, including the replies provided by the Commission, the Commission's mandatory periodic reports and the implementing acts.
