Reading the results - list of titles

You will then get a reminder of your search criteria and the number of files found in the database (at the moment of your selection, and within the time-rage selected).

Below are the files found. They are sorted in sections in the same way as presented in the Newsletter :

  • European Union
    • Events / News
    • Official Publications
  • Points of Reference / News
    • Events / News
    • Announcement / Updates
  • European Energy Foundation
    • Events / News
    • Announcements / Updates

N.B. : sections only appear if they hold information to show.

In each section, the files are listed in alphabetical order; below each file's title (telegraphic style) is a link to all the events related to that file, and a link to the Procedure Chart when the file follows an inter-institutional legislative procedure (codecision, cooperation, consultation, assent).

Files related to inter-institutional legislative procedure hold not only each step of the procedure, but also side and follow-up events (press releases, implementations, etc.) :

in this case, the file holds more than the 10 (out of 12 possible) steps of the codecision procedure.

Full list of related acts/events

Clicking on "All Events" opens the full list of the acts/events.  It starts by the full subject/title, followed by the themes to which the act/event is related. Then the list is displayed in reversed chronological order, stating the nature of the acts/events (telegraphic style).

If the file follows a legislative procedure, clicking then on the file's full title opens in a new window either the initial proposal (if the procedure is not finished) or the legislative document (if the procedure if finished).

Below the title are the themes to which it is related.  Clickable themes lead to general information on the subject.

Detailed description of a result - act/event

The detailed description of the act/event starts by the file's full title.  Then the event is presented, followed by more detailed information.

N.B. : the information on the official publication date, on the event's announcement date, or on the document's update date is a new service not yet available for all acts/events.
Detailed information on the act/event comes from the sources indicated in the Files Section introduction and is given "as is".

Underneath are the steps of the procedure : the steps already done are in bright colors, those which could be done in the future are in greyer colors, those which can not be done are marked with a cross. If you click on one of the chart's graphical elements you will get the more detailed description of the selected act/event.
