- (Photo: www.birthinjury.co.cc)
EU decision-making is difficult to understand. The institutions therefore committed themselves to make the lawmaking process more simple, transparent and easy to understand. The Council, the EU Commission and the EU Parliament are currently negotiating an inter-institutional agreement on better lawmaking.
Notes
The Commission publishes an annual report on better lawmaking.
The Future
The EU Constitution proposes to limit the legal acts of the Union to European law, European framework law, decisions, regulations, recommandations and opinions.It also proposes the co-decision procedure as the common rule and the abolition of co-operation in favour of consultation and co-decision procedures.
