Please can anyone tell me what "JAI" stands for in a document reference number? I assume it's Justice and Internal something - or maybe it's a French abbreviation? Further clarification would be very welcome. Example of context: Initiative of the Kingdom of Denmark with a view to the adoption of a Council Framework Decision on combating corruption in the private sector. JAI (2002) 21 , OJ C 184 02/08/02 p.5. More generally, can anyone point me to an understandable explanation of the procedure for legislation initiated by the Council? I don't find the glossary on Europa very helpful. EU courses and books tend to say that the Commission has the sole right of initiative, but I suppose they must be talking about the first pillar only, without making this explicit.
