European Union Policy-Making (EUPOL) dataset

The EUPOL dataset includes virtually all information contained in the European Commission’s online database PreLex. The mission of PreLex is to monitor the inter-institutional decision-making process of the EU, providing information about various formal events and institutional actors involved in policy-making, as well as cross-references to documents contained in other online databases. In combination with its long-term coverage since the mid 1970s, PreLex is a useful database for studies of EU politics. The EUPOL dataset provides the complete information contained in PreLex in a standardized and machine-readable format.

EUPOL数据集（EUPOL dataset）几乎涵盖了欧盟委员会（European Commission）在线数据库PreLex（PreLex）收录的全部信息。PreLex的核心使命为监测欧盟的跨机构决策流程，提供政策制定过程中涉及的各类正式活动、机构主体的相关信息，以及指向其他在线数据库中收录文档的交叉引用。凭借自20世纪70年代中期以来的长期数据覆盖范围，PreLex成为欧盟政治学研究的重要实用数据库。EUPOL数据集则以标准化且可机器读取的格式，完整提供了PreLex收录的全部信息。
