Global InformationInformal trilogue meeting information
An informal trilogue meeting, more commonly known as a trilogue, is a type of interinstitutional negotiation used in the European Union (EU) legislative process.[1] The bodies involved in trilogue negotiations are the European Commission, the Council of the European Union, and the European Parliament. The European Commission takes on the mediating function.[2]
It takes its name from a literary form, the trilogue, which means a conversation with three parties. It is not to be confused with a conciliation committee, which is an official part of the ordinary legislative procedure (OLP), provided for in the EU treaties.[3][4] Conciliation committees are occasionally referred to as "formal trilogue meetings".[5] Most references to "trilogues" in European legal studies refer to informal trilogue meetings.
