I see that other people beat me to it with the answer to the question about the e-commerce directive.
On the question about the legislative process, there is a very useful research document from the EP's DG for Research called The Powers of the European Parliament in the European Union (POLI 114). Unfortunately it is not available on-line but I can send a copy to anyone who sends me their snail-mail address.
Also, recently published was the 4th edition of The European Parliament by Corbett Jacobs and Shackleton, published by John Harper Publishing at £14.95 paperback (0-9536278-1-0) or £37.50 hardback (0-9536278-2-9) - it is very good on the Codecision procedure, particularly on conciliation.
There is a section on Conciliation on the europarl website - www.europarl.eu.int - second to last item under the Activities heading.
