In addition to producing daily alerts, the Practical Law EU team also writes longer legal updates on selected key EU regulatory developments, such as public consultations, European Commission proposals for draft legislation, outcomes of meetings of the European Parliament and the Council, accession, treaty and trade negotiations, the publication of legislative acts in the Official Journal of the European Union, and institutional changes.

For each development covered, the updates link to the underlying source materials and explain the background to the development, where relevant. We also link to more detailed Practical Law analysis, where this is available, enabling you to broaden your research. These updates are published throughout the week on the Practical Law EU homepage where they can be found under the "Legal updates" section.

You can sign up to receive EU updates as soon as they have been published via How to sign up for EU legal updates via RSS, and you can also receive them pulled together in an EU current awareness email. You can choose how frequently you receive these emails; see How to sign up for the EU current awareness email.

Finally, the EU updates are fully searchable online on Practical Law EU, allowing you to follow EU legislation from initiation through to enactment.

If you would like to receive EU updates as they are published via RSS, please see Subscribe to Practical Law RSS feeds.

You can sign up for current awareness emails including all the latest EU legal updates by clicking on the "Alerts" link at the top right-hand corner of any page on the Practical Law website and selecting "Create Alert".

Customisation features allow you to pick and choose any combination of legal updates from across different practice areas and topics. You can set up as many alerts as you need and have alerts for a particular topic, or an alert covering several topics. You can also set your preferred timing, frequency and level of detail for alerts.

You can learn more in Quick Reference Guide: Current Awareness Alerts or our video that demonstrates how to set up and edit alerts.
