MEPs

MEPs, or Members of the European Parliament, are elected representatives who serve in the European Union’s legislative body. They represent the citizens of member countries and work together to make laws, approve budgets, and oversee EU institutions. MEPs collaborate across political groups and national borders to shape policies on issues like the environment, trade, and human rights. Their role is to ensure that the perspectives of their constituents are considered in decision-making processes that affect the entire EU. Essentially, they act as a link between EU institutions and the people, promoting democratic participation at the European level.
