Abstract
The quality of EU legislation is often criticised. This article considers the factors influencing the formal quality of EU legislation, some of which are common to most legislation while others are particular to the EU.Many of the factors contributing to the good or bad formal quality of EU legislation are inherent in the EU's complex structure and decision-making process and are fixed. Other factors are variable and EU staff, in particular the Council's lawyer-linguists, are making a sustained effort to tackle them. In general substantial progress has been made.However, there are times when the political process demands the adoption of a lot of legislation in a short time and then the quality of that legislation inevitably suffers.
