and the EU. It mainly envi sages a top-down approach that focu ses on normative impacts as
well as on the drivers of t hese impacts. i s general perspective wil l be complemented by a
more bottom-up approach that foc uses on ‘veto points’ possibly act ivated by national actors
in the context of negotiations over legislative proposals at EU level, as well as on eventual
signs of ‘preference uploading’ by Member St ates.
