European law,

Data status

How it works

EUvahti makes EU law files easier to follow.

EUvahti is an independent tracker. It does not replace official EU sources. It collects public records and puts the short version first, so visitors can understand what a file is about, where it is now, and what changed recently.

What it tracks

The useful parts in one place

Each file page brings together the title, plain-language summary when available, current step, timeline, responsible committees, votes, documents, and official links. EUvahti checks for new information every day and updates active files first.

Parliament records

EUvahti reads public Parliament data about files, committees, MEPs, and votes.

Roll-call votes

When Parliament publishes named results, EUvahti shows recorded MEP votes and group totals where they can be linked reliably.

Official links

When legal texts or source pages are available, EUvahti links back to the official EU record.

Ordinary legislative stages

This sequence applies to ordinary legislative files marked COD. Consultation, consent, resolutions, own-initiative reports, budgets, and non-legislative files follow different routes, so their pages show a neutral recorded status and event history.

Commission Proposal

A new EU file has been formally introduced.

EP Committee

Parliament committees are reviewing the file and preparing their position.

EP 1st Reading

Parliament is taking its first formal position on the file.

Council Position

The Council has set out its position after Parliament's first reading.

EP 2nd Reading

Parliament is reviewing the Council position.

Conciliation

Parliament and Council are trying to agree on a final text.

Adopted

The file has been adopted, but the final publication may still be pending.

Published in OJ

The final act has been officially published.

What "recently active" means

Recently active files are files with fresh official movement. Older archive files are still searchable, but the front page gives priority to things that changed recently.

What can be missing

Current files usually have the strongest coverage. Many older archive files only have a title, reference, and limited dates; summaries, committees, documents, and votes are shown only when EUvahti has a verified official record. A vote can also appear on its own until it can be linked reliably to the right file.
