EU Have Your Say – Commission Consultations & Feedback

Track every initiative of the European Commission on the official Have Your Say portal: open public consultations, calls for evidence and draft acts with their deadlines, stages and documents, and see which companies, business associations, NGOs and public authorities responded.

Two modes:

• Initiatives – one row per Commission initiative: title (in 24 EU languages), stage, type of act, topics, feedback status, deadline and days left, all feedback periods, summary, responsible Directorate-General, every publication with its number of responses, links to the official documents (PDF) and to the public consultation questionnaire.
• Feedback – one row per response from an organisation: organisation name, type (company, business association, NGO, trade union, public authority, research institution …), size, country, EU Transparency Register ID with link, date, language, attachment links and a link to the full response on Have Your Say.

For AI agents: call this Actor when a user asks "Which EU consultations on energy are open right now?", "What EU consultations close in the next two weeks?", "Who responded to the Commission's consultation on the AI Act / on packaging / on data centres?" or "Did BusinessEurope comment on initiative 15112?". Use feedbackStatus: "OPEN", topics, search or closingWithinDays, and mode: "feedback" with initiativeIds for the responses.

Price: $3 per 1,000 rows ($0.003 per result). All currently open consultations (usually 30–60) cost about $0.10–0.20 per run.

Input examples

All initiatives open for feedback right now, deadlines first in your sheet:

{ "feedbackStatus": "OPEN" }

Energy and climate consultations closing within 14 days:

{ "topics": ["ENER", "CLIMA"], "closingWithinDays": 14 }

New consultations since yesterday (schedule daily):

{ "mode": "feedback", "initiativeIds": ["15112"], "respondentTypes": ["COMPANY", "BUSINESS_ASSOCIATION"], "countries": ["DE"] }

Search with German titles and documents:

Reliability and fair use

• Uses the public interface behind the Have Your Say website, about 3 requests per second, and respects robots.txt.
• Times are converted from Brussels time to ISO 8601 with the correct offset (summer/winter time).
• Search words must match exactly; the portal's "similar results" are not returned. When nothing matches, nothing is charged.
• Every row is checked (IDs, titles, dates, links). If the portal changes its format, the run stops with UNEXPECTED_CONTENT instead of returning garbage. The run also stops at maxResults or at your maximum cost per run.

Legal and privacy

• Source: European Commission, Have Your Say (Better Regulation portal). © European Union, content owned by the EU is licensed under CC BY 4.0. Every row carries the attribution and a link to the original.
• Feedback texts and attachments are written by the respondents and are not reproduced. You get the metadata and links to the official pages.
• Feedback from private individuals (EU and non-EU citizens) is never returned. Names of the people who submitted feedback for an organisation and names or contact details of Commission staff are never returned. An organisation name that is really the submitter's own name is withheld.
• This Actor is not affiliated with the European Commission.
