p14_Number of trilogues per year and per committee

From July 2019 to April 2024, Parliament’s committees participated in a total of 972 trilogue meetings with the Council and Commission. The bar graph below shows the number of trilogue meetings held by year since the beginning of the 2009-2014 term, with a peak in 2013, notably reflecting decisions on programmes within the 2014-2020 multiannual financial framework. While the number held in the second half of 2019 is in line with the number five years previously, the number held in 2020 and 2021 is considerably lower than for 2015 and 2016, in large part due to the coronavirus crisis restricting possibilities to meet physically. In the 9th term, out of 972 trilogue meetings, 837 involved a single committee, while in 135 cases, two (or more) committees took part jointly. The pie chart shows which parliamentary committees were most involved in trilogue in the 2019-2024 term. It highlights the seven most active committees in terms of trilogue meetings held, as a percentage of the total.
