2. Following the course of a legislative process

The animated arrow conceived by the European Parliamentary Research Service Blog summarises the various stages of the legislative process, starting from the Commission proposal up to adoption.

By clicking on the arrow we invite you to access the EP Legislative Train page which allows you to monitor the progress of the various dossiers in the 5 years of Parliament's term and, in this specific case, the progress of the Directive on anti-discrimination.




THE LEGISLATIVE OBSERVATORY

It is a tool for monitoring the EU institutional decision-making process. It focuses in particular on the role of the European Parliament. Over time, the website has expanded its scope, including further information related to the activity of the Parliament, and covering various areas, from the legislative function to that linked to the budget, the right of initiative, the power to approve appointments and various international agreements. The site publishes the "procedure files" or "fiches de procédure" in English and French, constantly updated until the process is completed. The search tool allows to identify the individual procedures quickly, by inserting filters and by combining different search options. The My Observatory function also allows you to save your searches and receive notifications in case of changes to the saved files.
