thread_title: Rated

message: Wouldn't worry about the images so much, as I tend to agree. How can you illustrate the co-decision procedure? With that said though, the opening statement of the article is awkward. It immediately discusses terms that have not been covered yet and would be confusing to those who have no idea what the co-decision procedure is. The opening should be more of a general overview of what we're about to read, like a thesis-statement, but more generalised for an Encyclopedia. For assistance with this, see Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style.
Otherwise, the meat of the article is written well and is accurate. Though, where did all this knowledge come from? I know this stuff of the top of my head, but it must be cited on Wikipedia. There's many places to get this information from and to cite it, such as the Europa.eu site.
So at this point the article would fail the criteria for a "good article" (WP:WIAGA). Though, I will put it on-hold, as I believe a week is plenty of time for editors to cite the information in this article properly. The article will fail though if citations are not added. Further, the opening needs tweaked.

thread_title: GA on-hold

message: It's been the maximum seven days that an article can be put "on hold" during a GA review. Unfortunately the citation issue has not been resolved. If proper citations are added in the future, there's no reason not to resubmit this article for review as it would likely pass without any debate. I'd cite it myself, but I haven't the time right now. Cheers. Nja247 (talk • contribs) 10:49, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Failed

message: I think the references tag is a bit harsh. There are a hell of a lot of worse pages on Wikipedia! The source is and always was Craig, Paul, and De Burca, Grainne, EU law: text, cases, and materials (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2003). I can't remember the page or chapter numbers and I don't have a copy to hand anymore. The facts can also be confirmed by reading the treaty itself. Caveat lector 18:29, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: References

message: as the article needs updating anyway (can we find out which ones apply to which areas? I can't see anything that says) can I suggest this style?: link removed as work now applied J.Logan`t: 08:49, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Full update and move completed as no one objected. If people do now object, please don't move back immediately before discussion as moving things back and fourth gets messy then we have to get admins in etc etc. So if we move it again, please lets be sure. Happy to reconsider my edit here of course though.- J.Logan`t: 21:12, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

text: Oh and by the way, I removed the lists of where they apply as they are out of date with Lisbon. If we can get a good source listing all those areas not covered by ordinary, that would be great.- J.Logan`t: 21:15, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

message: I had not noticed that the Treaty of Lisbon repealed the ex Article 252 TEC cooperation procedure. Now the ordinary legislative procedure is in Article 294 TFEC, corresponding to ex Article 251 TEC. – Kaihsu (talk) 18:20, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

message: The ‘chambers’ talk perhaps can be traced to Jacques Delors via Margaret Thatcher: ‘The President of the Commission, M. Delors, said at a press conference the other day that he wanted the European Parliament to be the democratic body of the Community, he wanted the Commission to be the Executive and he wanted the Council of Ministers to be the Senate. No. No. No.’ – Margaret Thatcher, Debate in the House of Commons (30 October, 1990) – Kaihsu (talk) 23:16, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Community method redirects here, but the term is nowhere explained or even used in the article. As it's more of a framework than a process (as least as I understand the term), should it go in between the current sections 2 & 3, as a way to contextualize the various legislative modes available to the EU?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Menace3society (talk • contribs) 14:51, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Typo needing correction? 

message: The Commission has no capacity to legislate, as falsely claimed in the article ("(...) the European Union is considered to have three legislative bodies: the European Commission (...)"). It takes initiatives, yes, similar to how a government proposes laws. But like a government, it does not legislate itself. Please keep these two things separated. Proposing laws is not the same as legislating. According to article 289 TFEU, a legislative act is – by definition – one which has been adopted in accordance with a legislative procedure by the European Parliament and/or the Council. Any legal act adopted by the Commission itself is by definition not a legislative act.
In addition, article 14.1 and 16.1 TEU clearly state that the legislative and budgetary functions are exercised by the European Parliament and the Council ("The European Parliament shall, jointly with the Council, exercise legislative and budgetary functions." and "The Council shall, jointly with the European Parliament, exercise legislative and budgetary functions.", respectively). --Glentamara (talk) 15:21, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
