Youth Policymaking in the European Union

The standard legislative procedure of the European Union (EU) is called an Ordinary Legislative Procedure. It starts with a legislative proposal submitted by the European Commission (EC) to the European Parliament (EP) and the Council of the EU. Both the EP and the Council have to agree on a proposal or amended drafts, for it to be adopted. A proposal can be amended up to two times before special negotiations begin. This negotiation stage is called Conciliation and a Committee composed of representatives of the EP, the Council and the EC discusses the proposal for a maximum of six weeks. Eventually, a vote to approve or reject the proposal will take place. The power of legislation of the EU is limited to areas of competence defined by Articles 2-6 TFEU. The topic of youth is part of the coordinating competences of the EU, meaning that only Member States can draft and implement youth legislation while the EC and the Council of the EU act as consultative bodies.
