Help with searching

If you are looking for a particular phrase within the written texts considered by this negotiation, you can search for moments when this phrase was introduced for consideration or decided upon. This is often the most helpful starting-point for legal research.

Alternatively, you may wish to search the descriptions of each event within this negotiation. This will not search for phrases under consideration, but rather the text of the various minutes upon which this edition of the negotiation is based.

Committee view

You can view a list of all committee sessions or you can view committee sessions scheduled for the future.

To search the minutes of a particular committee it is easiest to use the committee visualization pages (from here you can further drill down to individual sessions)
