Legislative priorities

While continuing to work on all legislative proposals, the European Parliament, the Council and the European Commission have committed to agree each year on a number of proposals to which they want to give priority treatment in the legislative process to ensure substantial progress. These priority proposals are included in the so-called Joint Declaration on the EU’s legislative priorities.
