EUR-Lex Law Making Procedures

To track proposed European legislation use the ‘Law Making Procedures’ area of EUR-Lex and the European Parliament’s Legislative Observatory.

Legislative Procedures will help you to follow the life cycle of a legislative proposal from the moment it is launched until the final law is adopted.

Legislative Observatory

The Legislative Observatory database was set up in 1994 as a tool to monitor the EU’s institutional decision-making process. Its particular focus is on the European Parliament’s role. You can track documents as they move through the European Parliament.

Both of the above websites/databases should be used as complementary services when tracking proposed European legislation.

Treaties

Founding, amending and accession treaties.

Council of Europe

Conventions, protocols and details of Member State signature and ratification.
