Special legislative procedure - Main contents
De bijzondere wetgevingsprocedure is een verzamelterm voor een groot aantal besluitvormingsprocedures in de Europese Unie i. Wat al die besluitvormingsprocedures gemeen hebben is dat ze een uitzondering zijn op de gewone wetgevingsprocedure i. Per bijzondere wetgevingsprocedure wordt aangegeven welke rol de verschillende Europese instellingen hebben in de besluitvorming; wie voorstellen mogen doen, wie er over mogen meebeslissen, en hoe er over voorstellen gestemd wordt.
In de Europese verdragen staat voor welke beleidsterreinen een bijzondere wetgevingsprocedure geldt.
Het vaststellen van afgeleide wetgeving i gaat volgens andere procedures. Die vallen niet onder deze categorie.
De term 'bijzondere wetgevingsprocedure' is geïntroduceerd bij de inwerkingtreding van het Verdrag van Lissabon i (1 december 2009).
