MEPs (Members of the European Parliament)

Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) are elected representatives who serve in the EU's legislative body, the European Parliament. They represent citizens from the 27 member countries, shaping laws, budgets, and policies that affect the European Union. MEPs work in political groups, debate issues, and vote on legislation to ensure the interests of their constituents are considered at an EU level. Their role is similar to that of national parliamentarians but on a broader, European scale, facilitating cooperation and decision-making among member states in areas like trade, environment, and human rights.
