How the EU Institutions Work 2025-2029

This book is a foundation text explaining in detail how EU legislative decision-making works in the Commission/European Parliament term that runs to 2029. Successive chapters explain the role of each of the EU institutions in the legislative process, describing the internal mechanisms and each step in sequence. 

The book then moves on to show how the interplay of the institutions, and the engagement of stakeholders, works in practical terms to shape legislation from start to finish, with detailed coverage of the Ordinary Legislative Procedure and Delegated and Implementing Acts.

Packed with timelines for how legislation is adopted, checklists of key points and actions, flowcharts and explanatory diagrams – this is a highly accessible resource for study, reference and planning for:
