Legislative Observatory The Legislative Observatory is an administrative, forecasting, information and research tool for EU legislative and non-legislative procedures involving the European Parliament. The Observatory consists of a series of procedure factfiles listing all the documents and key events relating to a given procedure and the players involved at each stage. There are three main stages in a procedure: the pre-legislative stage, possibly in the form of a preparatory document supplying the context of the procedure; the actual progress of the procedure, from the initial proposal or vote in committee to the legislative act or final opinion; the follow-up to the legislative act, including the replies provided by the Commission, the Commission's mandatory periodic reports and the implementing acts.
