Overview of the Ordinary Legislative Procedure (OLP)

  • The OLP is the standard decision-making process within the European Union, applicable to most policy areas unless specified otherwise by EU treaties.
  • It was introduced in 1992 by the Treaty of Maastricht and was known as co-decision until it was renamed with the Treaty of Lisbon in 2009.

Role of Co-Legislators

  • Both the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament act as co-legislators, each having a decisive vote in the legislative process.
