	European Ombudsman Decision 3051/2004/OV
		On 5 October 2004, you made a complaint to the European Ombudsman on behalf of Mrs G. (hereafter "the complainant") concerning the apportionment of the pension of her ex-husband who was an EP official.
		The aim of the apportionment is to distribute the rights obtained during the marriage by recognising that the spouses each have a claim on the other to compensate the disadvantage of the one who acquired less pension rights during the marriage.
		Parliament however regretted that between the date of the request (2 October 2001) of the apportionment of the pension and the date of the definitive answer (9 December 2002), 14 months have elapsed.

		The term apportionment was applied in the federal constitution to the distribution of representatives in the lower chamber of the federal congress between the several states and to the allotment of direct taxes upon the basis of population.
		Bentham proposed an apportionment based in part on population and in part on territory, and such a principle was adopted in France in the constitution drawn by the constituent assembly in 1791.
		The census of 1797 was assumed as a basis of the apportionment made by the constitution, but it is difficult to reconcile its allotment of representation with the returns of population; Valencia and Granada, with a nearly equal population, having respectively 19 and 2 deputies.

	Federation - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		For the Spanish parliament to revoke the autonomy of regions such as Catalonia or the Basque Country, or for the United Kingdom government to unilaterally abolish the legislatures of Wales or Scotland, would be a near political impossibility.
		A federal upper house may be based on a special scheme of apportionment, as is the case in the senates of the United States and Australia, where each state is represented by an equal number of senators irrespective of the size of its population.
		Alternatively, or in addition to this practice, the members of an upper house may be indirectly elected by the government or legislature of the component states, as occurred in the United States prior to 1913, or be actual members or delegates of the state governments, as, for example, is the case in the German Bundesrat.

	Henri de Compte v European Parliament. (Officials) [1991] EUECJ T-26/89 (17 October 1991)
		Although the Parliament, by decision of 10 April 1984, granted a final discharge to the applicant in respect of the 1981 financial year, it none the less referred in its reasoning to the problems concerning the disciplinary proceedings brought against the applicant in connection with the discharge for 1982.
		The Parliament is correct in its submission that the disciplinary proceedings at issue were brought before 31 May 1984, the date on which the applicant fixes the delivery of the implied final discharge for the 1981 financial year.
		Considering finally the Parliament' s suggestion that the copy in his possession was an unsigned draft of an accounting form, the applicant argues that, while such a possibility may explain some of the discrepancies identified, it cannot explain the difference in the printed characters of two documents bearing the same date.

	SCADPlus: Towards a new financial framework 2007-2013
		The European Commission is presenting its proposals for the next financial framework of the European Union, which will set out the objectives and budgetary resources for the European Union for the period 2007-2013.
		Stepping up and improving European research and technological development in order to create a European research area and to achieve the target of bringing public investment in research up to 1% of GDP: Financial aid for independent researchers, partnerships, networking between laboratories and the coordination of programmes and policies are all essential elements.
		This European Council proposed to the Council that work should continue in relation to the 2007-2013 financial framework on the issues identified in the Irish Presidency's report: the need for stricter prioritisation, the level of expenditure required and analysis of the value added by EU expenditure.

	European Ombudsman Decision 127/2004/OV
		The European Parliament was informed, by letter of 17 July 1996, that the amount transferred was DM 229 077.62, whereas the amount actually transferred, nearly one year later, was DM 234 882.04.
		Parliament refers to a fictitious separation between the career as an official in category C and as an official on secondment in category B. As an official, the complainant has only been in the grades C 4 and C 3.
		Parliament finally observed that it was necessary to distinguish between the complainant's career as an official further to a competition and his career as an agent in the PSE group.

		Reporters who interviewed current members of parliament after the election described a certain amount of "arrogance" and "pathetic" reactions, such as describing voters as too uninformed to participate in the political process and doubting the "legitimacy" of the results due to low voter turnout.
		As a candidate for the EU Parliament, her name was placed 31st on the back side of the party list where in normal circumstances it might have gone unnoticed and quickly forgotten.
		If Europeans are unable to move established state leaders from their current course, their only option is to replace them with EU skeptics in state elections.

	Election Resources on the Internet: Elections to the Italian Parliament
		The Parliament of the Italian Republic consists of a lower house, the Chamber of Deputies, and an upper house, the Senate, both directly elected by universal adult suffrage and with equal powers.
		Although the PDS was the senior partner in the Olive Tree, the coalition was led by Romano Prodi, a former Christian Democrat and a professor of economics at the University of Bologna, who had once headed the Institute for Industrial Reconstruction (IRI), a large state holding company; Silvio Berlusconi headed the Alliance for Freedom.
		The newly elected houses of Parliament went on to choose Unione candidates Franco Marini and Fausto Bertinotti as Speakers of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, respectively.

		The ruling by the European Court of Justice on “franked investment income” was billed as a historic event – one that would force the government to exempt foreign dividends from tax and overturn the British system of worldwide taxation that had prevailed for more than 200 years.
		The European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg ruled, by four votes to three, that there had been no violation of article 14 – which prohibits discrimination – in relation to their property rights.
		Joyce and Sybil Burden, who are both in their 80s and live in an £875,000 property in Wiltshire, had claimed the situation was discriminatory because, when one of them died, the survivor would face a heavy inheritance tax bill unlike the survivor of a marriage or a civil partnership.

	Apportionment
		Although European parliaments (and other democracies) evolved in a very different way from the legislative branch of the US government, ironically, Europeans also needed to solve apportionment problems as a consequence of the way elections for parliament were held.
		In Europe (and elsewhere), many countries are divided into multiseat regions where parties competed for seats in the national parliament by running as members of particular parties in these multimember districts.
		Many of the methods that were proposed to solve the CAP were independently discovered in attempts to solve apportionment problems in Europe.

		The European Council should not to be confused with the Council of the European Union, also known as the Council of Ministers.
		Despite its level of seniority, the European Council is a relatively informal grouping – the term did not appear at all in the Treaties until 1986, and even since then few Articles have been devoted to this body whose authority is difficult to encapsulate in precise and binding rules and definitions.
		Hence it is the European Council that has in the past been the forum to drive forward constitutional matters such as amendments of the Treaties, successive enlargements, and Economic and Monetary Union.

	East European Constitutional Review
		Among the eight Central and Eastern European countries seeking accession to the European Union, Estonia and Latvia are the most diverse ethnically.Their Russian and/or Slav minorities amount to approximately 30 percent of the population in Estonia and 39 percent in Latvia, making them nearly binational states.
		In Latvia, the range is much broader, including the president, parliament, a group of 20 or more deputies from the parliament, the cabinet of ministers, the prosecutor general, the state auditing council,municipal councils, the State Human Rights Bureau, lower courts and land-registry judges, and single individuals or companies.
		In proposing these measures, parliament (along with the government) had been motivated by a nationalist desire to ensure that a non-Estonian–speaking person could not be elected to parliament or a local council, where he or she would not be able to perform their duties because of insufficient language skills.

		The common European rule is Article 3 of the Additional Protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights, which explicitly provides for the right to periodical elections by free and secret suffrage; the other principles have also been recognised in human rights case law.
		Furthermore, under the European integration process European citizens have been granted the right to vote and stand for election in municipal and European Parliament elections in their EU member state of residence.
		Second, it is insufficient for the electoral law (in the narrow sense) to comprise rules that are in keeping with the European electoral principles: the latter must be placed in their context, and the credibility of the electoral process must be guaranteed.

		In contrast, European Principles expressly states that the "aggrieved party is entitled to specific performance"[23] subject to a number of limitations.
		The Commission on European Contract Law has listed a number of uses for the European Principles:[28] facilitation of cross-border trade; strengthening of the single European market; creation of an infrastructure for Community laws governing contracts; guidelines for national courts and legislatures; and construction of a bridge between the civil law and the common law.
		A European contract code would be limited to the law of contracts, while a civil code would be a more expansive endeavor embodying other areas of law such as restitution, property, tort, and possible family law.

	Ambition, Federalism, and Legislative Politics in Brazil,David Samuels, Cambridge University Press, 2003
		In the following three chapters Kreppel systematically demonstrates how the European Parliament's internal development, its party groups, ideology, and rules have been impacted by external changes in the function of the parliament and internal movements toward a party system constructed to be more capable of achieving its primary power goals of policy realization.
		Using the changes in the structure of the European Parliament as the external critical moments impacting party groups, Kreppel finds that "the change in coalition patterns was a direct result of the institutional transformation of the European Parliament from a chamber of debate to a legislative body" (2002: 151).
		Amie Kreppel places the study of the European Union and its parties in its proper place in the study of legislatures and sets an important precedent for the future study of international legislative bodies.

		The European Union already is involved in the situation in Ukraine much deeper than before, and according to Arkady Moshes, EU-Russia Program Director at the Finnish Institute of International Relations, it more directly senses its interest in the success of the reforms and is conscious of its responsibility over Ukraine.
		Europe unequivocally supported Ukraine in its gas dispute with Russia in winter 2006, although oen of the motives was the aspiration of the EU to not allow Russia to monopolize the access to the Central Asian energy resources.
		As Kaczynski is concerned, some observers find that he is not especially reliable in his role as a lobbyist for Ukrainian interests as his previous comments – and those that the EU has nowhere to enlarge anymore – have not been forgotten in the “old Europe’”.
