European Parliament

The European Parliament is one of the key institutions of the European Union (EU) that represents EU citizens. It consists of Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), who are elected by citizens from EU member countries. The Parliament's main roles include debating and approving laws, overseeing the EU budget, and influencing policies on various issues like the economy, environment, and human rights. It works alongside the European Commission and the Council of the EU to shape legislation and ensure democratic accountability within the EU framework. Essentially, it serves as the voice of the people in the EU decision-making process.
