  • The European Parliament
    The European Parliament Kristin Archick Specialist in European Affairs Derek E. Mix Analyst in European Affairs July 22, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RS21998 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress The European Parliament Summary On June 4-7, 2009, the 27 member countries of the European Union (EU) held elections for the European Parliament (EP). The European Parliament is one of the three key institutions of the European Union, and the only EU institution whose members are directly elected. Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) serve five-year terms. Once limited to being a consultative assembly, the EP has accumulated more power over time—it performs important functions in the EU’s legislative and budgeting processes, and exercises supervision over the two other main EU institutions, the Council of the European Union (Council of Ministers) and the European Commission. Although it does not formally initiate EU legislation, the EP has “co-decision” power in about three-quarters of EU legislation, giving it the right to amend or reject proposals. The Lisbon Treaty, if ratified, would increase the EP’s role further, giving it amendment and veto authority over the vast majority of EU legislation. Moreover, supporters argue, as the only directly elected EU institution, the EP increasingly plays an important checks-and-balances role on behalf of Europe’s citizens. Supporters also claim that the EP’s influence is even growing in strictly consultative areas, such as the EU’s common foreign policy, and that the EP has become an important forum for debate on international issues.

  • The European Parliament
    The European Parliament Kristin Archick Specialist in European Affairs May 19, 2014 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RS21998 The European Parliament Summary Between May 22 and May 25, 2014, the 28 member states of the European Union (EU) will hold elections for the next European Parliament (EP). The Parliament is a key EU institution that represents the citizens of the EU. It works closely with the two other main EU bodies, the European Commission (the EU’s executive) and the Council of the European Union (also known as the Council of Ministers, on which the national governments of the EU’s 28 member states are represented). Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) serve five-year terms, and have been directly elected since 1979. The next EP will have 751 seats. Once limited to being a consultative assembly, the EP has accumulated more power over time. Experts assert that the EU’s latest effort at institutional reform—the Lisbon Treaty, which entered into force on December 1, 2009—has increased the relative power of the EP within the EU considerably. The EP now shares legislative power with the Council of Ministers in most policy areas, giving the EP the right to accept, amend, or reject the vast majority of EU laws (with some exceptions in areas such as tax matters or foreign policy). The Lisbon Treaty also gives the EP the power to decide on the allocation of the EU budget jointly with the Council, the right to approve or reject international agreements, and greater decision-making authority on trade-related issues.

It was a year with many experiences and activities, in addition to the European Elections, and our statutory Congress. We look back with pride on 2019. The ESU, as a member association of the EPP, aims to be part of a better future for all generations. In a society of longevity, governments at all levels and actors in all areas have to cope with the gains, strengths and limitations of ageing generations. We encourage a new approach. The time has come to recognize the capabilities and know-how of older persons and value the role they play in all parts of societal live. We believe in a strong, democratic and united Europe. Despite difficulties and threats, complex challenges, nationalist and populist tendencies worldwide, we look forward to the future with hope and optimism. We stand up for Europe.
