		Other organisations of European countries such as NATO, the OSCE, the Council of Europe, and the Western European Union have parliamentary assemblies as well, but the European Parliament is unique in that it is directly elected by the people and has legislative power.
		Although the two institutions of the EU's executive, the European Commission and the European Council, both have their seats in Brussels, a protocol attached to the Treaty of Amsterdam requires the European Parliament to have monthly sessions in Strasbourg.
		Elections to the parliament are held using various forms of proportional representation, as selected by the member states.

		An election is a process in which a vote is held to elect candidates to an office.
		The UK is divided into twelve electoral regions, which are the three smaller nations (Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), and the nine Regions of England.
		After Labour's poor performance in the PR elections in the devolved assemblies - failure to win an outright majority in the proportional hybrid AMS elections to the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly, the case for reform within the Labour party was further diminished.

	PARTY GROUPS IN THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
		Fifteen years and three parliaments on from 1979, statistical analysis shows that, contrary to the foregoing paragraph, there is no reason why party groups in the European parliament should be unable to attain impressive degrees of cohesion simply by virtue of their being transnational.
		Elections to the EP are almost entirely absorbed in the consideration of domestic issues : in other words, they are not about the institution that is, in fact, being elected.
		This ensures that European elections become an inseparable part of the dynamics of national party competition, too important to the relative fortunes of the domestic political competitors to be given up the ponderous competition of EU issues.

	Emile Noel's description of the European Parliament -A Directly Elected Parliament (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Provision had been made for these elections more than 20 years previously in the Treaty of Rome, which stipulated that the Assembly - the European Parliament- would eventually be elected by direct universal suffrage.
		However, ratification of the September 1976 'Act' by national parliaments took longer than expected, partly because in the United Kingdom the elections and the electoral procedure to be followed were treated as a single issue.
		The first elections were held on 7 and 10 June 1979, each State using its own national electoral system, and national voting procedures were again used when the next two Parliaments were elected in 1984 and 1989.

	Speeches to the European Parliament by Bashir Khanbhai MEP
		I am pleased, of course, that the EU is involved and I want to ensure that this Parliament is aware of the continuing problems in Africa, because it is European taxpayers who in the end become impatient if we are seen not to take appropriate action.
		It is about time the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers recognise that Africa is not like the US or Europe, where democracy can be understood.
		The Lisbon European Council dream for the EU to be the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world by 2010 cannot be realised unless we stimulate and I mean stimulate SMEs.

	THE EU AND PARLIAMENT
		1984: legislation (particularly, but not only, legislation intended to implement directives) should be interpreted according to the relevant directives.
		In addition, the European Convention on Human Rights and the Human Rights Act (with its provision for statements that legislation is incompatible with the Convention), although not obligating rectification of non-compliant legislation, effectively mean that parliamentary supremacy is largely symbolic.
		There is a limited retention of parliamentary sovereignty in many areas of European concern, since the UK has limited powers to determine penalties for breach of EU law, and since the option is often left open in directives not to implement parts of the directive.

	Bilderberg Conference 2002, Chantilly, Virginia, nr. Washington D.C.
		Europeans continued to complain about the new farm subsidy legislation and the imposition of tariffs on steel imports to protect the domestic industry against dumping and were distraught that the Senate version of Fast Track would allow Congress to block any trade deals that negate laws protecting domestic industries.
		Europeans are also angry at the United States for rejecting the International Criminal Court and the Kyoto Treaty on global climate control, which economists warn would generate skyrocketing inflation here while requiring nothing of 60 percent of the world.
		Given that Parliament has, at least theoretically, equal power with Council in many areas of legislation, including the EU Budget, the role of European Parliamentary President should not be underestimated.
