		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.

	Module 4: The Institutional Terrain
		The European Parliament is the institution which represents the peoples of the states brought together in the Community.
		Currently, the Parliament has the ability to make decisions on equal footing with the Council of Ministers on the majority of EU legislation, to ratify international agreements and the entry of new countries into the EU, and to dismiss the European Commission (though not individual members).
		When the European Union acquired its own resources (funds that originate in the member states but belong to the EU) in the early 1970s, the Parliament and the Council became the EU's joint budgetary authority for EU spending (though not for raising revenue since this remains the prerogative of the Council alone).

		However, the European challenge of devolution reflects the discrepancy between the “Europeanisation” of Scottish politics and autonomist demands, and the weak European dimension of the new constitutional settlement.
		The “Europeanisation” of Scottish Autonomy In the 1970s, European integration was mainly seen “as a new external support system for the old British political system, something to replace the empire and the fraying special relationship” with the United States, but rarely perceived as a political process in favour of devolution.
		The European relations of Scotland within the UK While Scottish Ministers have no right to represent Scotland independently from the UK at the international level, the Scotland Act 1998 does provide for their participation in the EU policy-making process, stating that they can engage in “assisting Ministers of the Crown” in relation to European matters.

		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.

	1994 European Parliament Elections
		Like local elections in Britain, European elections tend to be dominated by national issues, especially in countries where the national government is particularly unpopular.
		More importantly, the debates on the future of European integration, generated by the difficulties in four member states surrounding the ratification of the Maastricht Treaty, continued into the European election campaign in virtually all member states.
		In party political terms, the general picture emerging in the elections of June 1994 is one of consolidation of the Party of European Socialists (PES) as the largest group in the Parliament leading the left, and of fragmentation of the right and center-right.
