Parliaments able to save time thanks to free EP tool for managing legislative amendments

Information society - 20-03-2013 - 14:01

A pile of documents in the plenary Chamber http://www.europarl.europa.eu/resources/library/images/20130320PHT06719/20130320PHT06719_original.jpg?epbox Too many amendments? We can help with that!

*A handy tool for managing amendments to legislative proposals is being offered to national parliaments free of charge by the European Parliament. Its technical team has created a special tool for managing all files in just one window of the internet browser. AT4AM - short for Authoring Tool for Amendments - makes it easier and quicker to table amendments. A generic open-source version is now being made available to other parliaments.*

Since its launch in 2010, AT4AM has been used to table more than 250,000 amendments in the EP. "Due to this great success in the EP it was a logical consequence to release the source code and make it available to national parliaments in order to share a modern instrument for drafting activity with a minimal investment," said vice-president Rainer Wieland, a German member of the EPP group.

AT4AM is a web-editor that enables users to file, draft and edit amendments with only one click in a single browser window. All corrections, mentions and edits are automatically added to the original document, without any need to copy data or work on several files at the same time.
