They vary according to the policy area and type of act concerned. </p> <p>The legislative procedure refers to the process by which the ‘co-legislators’ (the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union) adopt legal acts: <a href="./../summary/glossary/regulation.html">regulations</a>, <a href="./../summary/glossary/directive.html">directives</a> and <a href="./../summary/glossary/decision.html">decisions</a>.

Before that, it was commonly known as the 'codecision procedure'. </p> <h3>Special legislative procedures</h3> <p>This applies to specific cases set out in the Treaty. Unlike the ordinary legislative procedure, there is no single process for adopting acts under these procedures. A legal act can be adopted under a <a href="./../legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=LEGISSUM:special_legislative_procedure">special legislative procedure</a> by: </p> <ul> <li>the European Parliament with the participation of the Council;</li> <li>the Council with the participation of the European Parliament.</li> </ul> <h3>Non-legislative procedures</h3> <p>EU institutions can also adopt <a href="./../summary/glossary/legislative_acts.html">non-legislative acts</a>. </p> <p>The lawmaking procedures section on EUR-Lex includes interinstitutional non-legislative procedures for acts adopted mostly by the Council on a proposal from the Commission. </p> <p>Procedures for legal acts adopted by the Commission only (autonomous acts), including Commission implementing and delegated acts, can be found in the internal procedures section. </p> <h3>Abbreviations for the main interinstitutional procedures</h3> <p>The interinstitutional reference for lawmaking procedures is composed of the year, the procedure number (digits and/or letters) and abbreviation of the procedure type. </p> <p><i>Example</i></p> <p><strong>2012/0011/COD</strong> – this corresponds to (year)/ (procedure number)/ (procedure type). </p> <p>The procedure type 'COD' covers the ordinary legislative procedure (as well as the former co-decision procedure).</p> <div class="table-responsive"> <table class="table table-striped table-hover table-condensed"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <p><strong>Abbreviation</strong></p> </td> <td> <p><strong>Interinstitutional procedure</strong></p> </td> <td> <p><strong>Status</strong></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>ACC</p> </td> <td>Agreement</td> <td>Obsolete</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>APP</p> </td> <td>Special legislative procedure (European Parliament consent required)</td> <td>Current</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>AVC</p> </td> <td>Assent procedure</td> <td>Obsolete</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>BUD</p> </td> <td>Budgetary procedure</td> <td>Current</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>CNB</p> </td> <td>Consultation of the European Central Bank</td> <td>Obsolete</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>CNC</p> </td> <td>Consultation of the Court of Auditors</td> <td>Obsolete</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>CNS</p> </td> <td>Special legislative procedure (European Parliament consulted)</td> <td>Current</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>COD</p> </td> <td>Ordinary legislative procedure (formerly co-decision procedure)</td> <td>Current</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>DEC</p> </td> <td>Budgetary discharge procedure</td> <td>Current</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>NLE</p> </td> <td>Non-legislative procedure</td> <td>Current</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>PRT</p> </td> <td>Social protocol</td> <td>Obsolete</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>SYN</p> </td> <td>Cooperation procedure</td> <td>Obsolete</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </div> <p> <button class="btn btn-link ViewMoreInfo collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#AdditionalEditorial2" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="AdditionalEditorial" onclick="$(this).find('i.fa').toggleClass(['fa-plus-square', 'fa-minus-square']);"> <i class="fa fa-plus-square" aria-hidden="true"></i> <span class="VMIMore">More on internal procedures</span> <span class="VMILess">Less on internal procedures</span> </button> </p> <div class="collapse" id="AdditionalEditorial2" aria-expanded="false"> <p>EUR-Lex gives access to information on a number of procedures that are internal to European institutions/bodies.</p> <p>An internal procedure is a series of stages in the internal decision-making process in an institution or a body. The procedure stages differ depending on the type of procedure, the institution involved and its rules of procedure. </p> <p>The outcome of an internal procedure can be an act adopted by one institution only (e.g. a Commission autonomous act in the form of implementing act) or a document that is part of an interinstitutional lawmaking procedure (e.g. a Commission proposal or an opinion of European Economic and Social Committee (EESC)). </p> <p>Information on internal procedures has only been uploaded to EUR-Lex since July 2016 and currently it is available only with regard to the EESC. For instance, you can find the internal procedures that lead to the adoption of Commission’s proposals or delegated/implementing acts, and the EESC’s opinions. </p> <h3>How to access internal procedures</h3> <p>You can access internal procedures by clicking the corresponding tab on the left-hand menu of any relevant document page.</p> <p>See an example of an <a
