Overview
This is an overview of implementing measures (ongoing and future, according to the best of our knowledge) deriving from our key priority files.
We have taken into consideration only the priority files for which the legislative process is over (for a total of 74 files). Some priority files are still open (the ordinary legislative procedure has not been concluded) and the implementing measures originating from these are not captured. The total number of measure is expected to be higher.
The amount of implementing measures is Olit Of SCOp divided into the following thematic areas:
