  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.

Parliaments are no longer structured as an Assembly of all Representatives, where all business is discussed and approved or rejected on the floor of the House.

Parliaments are the law-making institutions of the democratic State and its Committees the most important instance in the preparation, debate and agreement of the intermediate text of a Bill to be put forward for approval by the House.
