Timeline

Legislative processes can be long and complex, making them difficult to track. Our timeline feature is designed to give you an overview of any legislative process, highlight key steps and developments, and gather all relevant documentation in one place.

The timeline is available for all ordinary legislative procedures. This key feature allows you to see all the steps the procedure has undergone, and it links all related documents, amendments, and votes in one place.

Find the timeline by scrolling down to the detailed view of a procedure just below the Decision Makers and Key Influencers section.

The timeline is arranged chronologically, with the latest developments at the top. It can be quite extensive for lengthy processes, but you can view the entire timeline by clicking Expand Timeline at the bottom.

	Votes	Votes of the Parliament
