The locus of agenda setting power in the EU has long been a topic of scholarly debate. While formal rules suggest a dominant role for the Commission, political realities point towards other institutions such as the European Council (EUCO) or Council of the EU (Council). Additionally, treaty revisions since the 1987 Single European Act have all incorporated some degree of increased empowerment of the European Parliament (EP), suggesting that it also should be considered among the possible EU agenda setters, or at least agenda influencers. The search for a sole, or primary source of agenda power in the EU has been inconclusive because it is fundamentally misguided. The institutional context of the EU requires consensus building not just in decision making, but also during the agenda setting process. While relative influence of the core institutions varies across procedure, policy arena and the character of initiatives, in general successful agenda setting resulting in substantive policy outcomes occurs through collaboration rather than competition.
