Ordinary Legislative Procedure

This module is about the Ordinary Legislative Procedure of the European Union. This is the procedure by which most EU laws are agreed between the EU institutions, on the basis of objectives and competences agreed upon between the Member States in the EU Treaty.

The module has three sections.
- The first section explains what we mean by “legislative” procedures in the EU context;
- The second section looks at how the “ordinary” legislative procedure works in practice;
- The third section illustrates this with an example – the negotiation in 2010 of the Regulation giving effect to the new European Citizens’ Initiative which was introduced by the Lisbon Treaty.
