European Parliament

The European Parliament is the parliament of the European Community. It is bicameral, consisting of a 60-Member appointed upper house styled “European Council”, and a 751-Member elected lower house called “European Assembly”. The Consent of Council and Assembly is required in every instance of the legislative process, and before a Bill may become an Act of Parliament and thus a Law of the European Community, it must be approved by the Chief Magister of the European Community or, if disapproved by him, repassed in the Council and Assembly by two-thirds of their respective Members.
