EU Law Tracker | Publications Office of the European Union

The EU Law Tracker allows you to monitor the EU legislative process from the moment a legislative act is proposed until it is adopted. This website contains information and related documents from the different bodies involved in EU law-making. Since its launch on 30 April 2024, all new and ongoing legislative procedures falling under the ordinary legislative procedure are available on the website. In the future, the website will also list the EU’s legislative priorities and track their progress.

Legislative Train Schedule | European Parliament

The 'Legislative Train Schedule' website aims to provide an interesting, content rich and easy to understand way to visualise the legislative elements that form the major part of the EU institutions' work programme. Using railways, trains and carriages as a metaphor, the website allows users – Members, Parliament staff, and a broader public audience – to monitor the progress of legislative files during the current and past European Parliament term.
