	The European Elections June 10th 13th 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Throughout the European Union, the European elections were used as a means to sanction the national governments in place.
		This is to say that the European Elections must be re-Europeanized, for if not they run the risk of mortgaging their credibility as the only democratically elected institution in the EU.
		Europeans are asked to perform the difficult task of electing members to a parliamentary assembly of uncertain and variable stature, demonstrated by the inequality of salaries paid to elected officials and the incompatibility of rules pertaining to the length of mandates.

	European Parliament Summary
		The debating chamber, the 'hemicycle' of the European Parliament in Brussels.
		Although Brussels is generally treated as the 'capital' of the European Union, and the two institutions of the EU's executive, the European Commission and the Council of Ministers, both have their seats there, a protocol attached to the Treaty of Amsterdam requires that the European Parliament have monthly sessions in Strasbourg.
		Thus the European Parliament is sometimes informally referred to as the 'Strasbourg Parliament' and Strasbourg as the democratic (opposed to bureaucratic) capital of Europe.

	EUROPA - European Union institutions and other bodies - European Parliament
		The members of the European Parliament (MEPs) sit not in national blocks but in Europe-wide political groups that bring together all the main political parties operating in the EU member states.
		So Parliament expresses the democratic will of the Union's 374 million citizens, and it represents their interests in discussions with the other EU institutions.
		This places the European Parliament and the Council on an equal footing and the laws passed using this procedure are joint acts of the Council and Parliament.

	Israpundit » Blog Archive » Democrats go European -back away from Israel
		The Democrats either don’t realize or do not want to admit that America’s traditional allies in Europe are anti-American, moreso from their politics of jealousy and resentment of the U.S. then morally based reason to criticise the U.S. Secondly, the EU is under the hammer of Arab oil.
		Europeans fear that if they do not try to keep Arabs happy, by joining them in their stand against Israel or at least not get in their way of their anti-Israel stand, they will get through another day without the Arabs letting their hammer fall.
		European foreign policies as regards the Middle East are all borne of submission, fear and appeasement and those policies have yielded at best weak and intermittent support for Israel, if not outright support for Israel’s enemies.

		The answer is that, to a large extent, the European Parliament is forcing the European Political Parties to align themselves and form stable cross-national alliances which may one day become pan-european political parties even if currently they are not.
		The European Parliament was originally a more or less ceremonial body with little or no power (though that changed gradually, especially in 2002, and has been in evidence since 2004), and it was intended mostly as a way to bring together all the National and Regional political parties in Europe.
