The European Parliament (EP) is the only European institution directly elected by citizens. It is made up of 736 MEPs and has three fundamental powers: legislative, budgetary and political control of the other European institutions.
The European Parliament represents 500 million inhabitants of the 27 member states of the European Union. As an institution representing European citizens, the Parliament is one of the main democratic foundations of the EU.
