“…Methodologically, the specific mechanism through which EAs are reached-as explained above, the "rubberstamping requirement" implies that the Parliament and Council need to incorporate the inter-institutional compromise in their own respective opinions and positionschallenges the validity of amendment success as the most established indicator of the EP's influence 4 See Helmke and Levitsky (2004, p. 727II) for possible relationships between formal and informal institutions. across legislative procedures (Kreppel 1999(Kreppel , 2002Kasack 2004). Empirically, few studies have, so far, tackled this challenge, either by systematically linking the analysis of informal procedures to the EP's legislative influence via amendments (Häge and Kaeding 2007; Kardasheva forthcoming), or by explaining the consequences of early conclusion on actors' intra-institutional bargaining success (Rasmussen and Reh 2013).…”

The Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS), created in 1992 and directed by Brigid Laffan since September 2013, aims to develop inter-disciplinary and comparative research and to promote work on the major issues facing the process of integration and European society.The Centre is home to a large post-doctoral programme and hosts major research programmes and projects, and a range of working groups and ad hoc initiatives. The research agenda is organised around a set of core themes and is continuously evolving, reflecting the changing agenda of European integration and the expanding membership of the European Union. European Union Democracy Observatory (EUDO) Working Paper SeriesThe European Union Democracy Observatory (EUDO) was launched in the spring of 2006 as an independent and interdisciplinary academic organization. In 2008, EUDO became a fully-integrated part of the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS). Its declared goals are: to produce a permanent and periodic assessment of democratic practices within the EU; to serve as a forum to exchange ideas and good practices; and to be a resource for policy-makers, academics and EU citizens.EUDO focuses its activities around the themes of the four EUDO Observatories, which form the backbone of EUDO and constitute its main organizing principle. They are responsible for data and documentation gathering and are directed by EUI internal professors in conjunction with external EUDO experts. Each Observatory coordinates specific research projects. The four Observatories are: the Observatory on Public Opinion, Political Elites and the Media, the Observatory on Political Parties and Representation, the Observatory on Institutional Reform and Change, and the Observatory on Citizenship.The EUDO working paper series started in December 2009 and aims at disseminating high-quality research on the above-mentioned issues. Not only the directors of the Observatories, but as well EUDO fellows and external experts as well as other scholars and practitioners are welcome to submit their work to the series. AbstractOne of the most important developments in the history of the EU's codecision procedure has been the steep rise in "early agreements" since 1999, and the shift of legislative decision-making from public inclusive to informal secluded arenas. As part of a wider research project on "The Informal Politics of Codecision", this working paper launches a new data set on all 797 legislative files concluded under codecision between 1999 and 2009. The paper discusses the process of data collection and coding; explains and justifies the operationalisation and measurement of key variables; and elaborates on the methodological challenges of capturing informal political processes. The paper offers rich descriptive statistics on the scale and scope of early agreements across time, and explores how key characteristics of the legislative file (legal nature, policy area, complexity, salience, policy type, duration) and of the main negotiators (priorities of the Cou...

“…National environmental ministries tried to overcome opposition at home by forming alliances at EU level. The European Parliament, especially with its personalised and sector committee-based internal deliberative processes, has frequently been a promoter for stronger environmental requirements, however outcomes are less predictable than in national Parliaments having a stable governing coalition [89,90,75,44]. The co-decision procedures proved to allow dynamic consensus finding between the three European institutions.…”
