The European union is a political and economic group of 28 european countries. Due to the aftermath of the two world wars. Founded in 1958 by 6 countries: Germany, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Netherlands, Act on security climate and foreign relations. No single leader. Main areas are the council of European union that make decisions, the European commission is the engine room of the eu and each country has a head of state that stands for them on behalf of the eu they must be politically independent. the European parliament make laws of the eu

For all who may concern: best criticism of this quite okay summary is Gilder von Schattenkreuz's btw. the parliament does not posses the power of direct legislative initiative ;)

[@JBinero]

In most countries the parliament does not propose law. The EU just removed the official ability for them to do so. It's based on efficiency and clarity, not tradition. Furthermore, member states would never want the parliament to be able to propose laws. Right now the only ones who can propose laws are the Commission, if approved by the member states, and the member states themselves bypassing the Commission.

[@peterwilkinson5113]

Sole right of legislative in the EU sits with the commission. There is no deviation from that. The parliament only has a say in the ordinary process. All other legislative processes either bypass the parliament or can ignore them.

[@Homelandz]

Long story short: it's a confederacy. Member states retain sovereignty, they can leave whenever they want and they cede (voluntarily) some powers to the center, which is fairly weak. Politics is mainly national and european elections are tier 2. People feel mostly french or italian or whatever and not so much "european".

The vote has to represent 60% of the eu population. Its not a 50% system. All spending, all laws you can check on the official eu sites. Also you can find what their power is and what the members states powers is.

[@robertlee8805]

I would like this video to be more exact. I like the video but wanted more details. I where can I get more info on the EU setup, structure, procedures, etc? How is this Britain Brexit affect the EU, Britain and USA?

[@Gilder-von-Schattenkreuz]

This is actually rather Inaccurate and extremely Misleading... 1. The European Commission does not Propose or Decide on Laws. Your Explanation Suggests that the Commission. (Which is not an Elected Body of the EU) Would have the Power to basicly Suggest Legislation itself. However its Part of the Executive. Not the Legislative. It does not have the Power to Suggest or Propose Laws itself. It "Writes" Laws. Upon Request by the Elected Government Members. The European Commission is the Civil Servants of the EU. When Laws are Proposed or Considered by the Parliament of the EU or the Council of the EU. The Commission will then Write these Laws in Accordance with Legal Procedure and Expert Knowledge on the Single Aspects of the Law. It is then Send back to the Party which Requested it to be Submitted as an actual Proposal for a Law so it can be Voted upon. 2. When you say the European Parliament is the only Body in the EU which is Directly Representing the People then this is Partially Wrong and very Misleading. Because it Suggests to People that only the European Parliament is Elected. However this is not the Case. The European Council are the Leaders of each Member Country and have a Voting Power Relative to the Countries which they Represent. As all of these Countries are Democracies. All of these are Elected. Same goes for the Council of the European Union which consists of the Ministers of each Country and thus of Members of this Countries Elected Parties. Meaning that actually All 3 of the Main Decision Making Bodies of the EU. Are Elected by EU Citizens. And are either in Direct or Indirect Representation of the EU Population.

[@Endermankiller]

You should really check this stuff before correcting people. The European commission is the sole EU body with the right of legislative initiative. Neither the European parliament nor the council of the EU has a right to formally propose laws. The European parliament can only request a proposal of new laws from the commission but the latter is not obligated to so.

[@JBinero]

@@Endermankiller The EU Council can propose legislation.

[@JBinero]

The European Commission is elected in the same way the UK government is elected. People vote for a party. The leading candidate of the winning coalition becomes president, and picks the cabinet. It can absolutely propose law. The European Council sets forward a policy agenda which the European Commission implements by writing legislative proposals. Those are sent to European Parliament who approves, rejects or amends the law. It is then sent to the Council, who does the same. This back and forth continues one more time, after which if there is no result, the is rejected automatically. In some areas of policy the European Parliament is circumvented and does not get to vote. Only the member states vote in this case. Since 2009 the Parliament has the right to demand a legislative proposal from the Commission within a time frame. The Commission can ignore this, however since the parliament has the right to disband the Commission and elect a new one, there are risks involved for the Commission to ignore a demand for a proposal.

[@Endermankiller]

@@JBinero I don't know if you mean the European council or the council of the EU but neither of them has a formal right to propose legislature. They can only ask the commission to do so similarly to the parliament. Of course it is virtually impossible for the commission to ignore such requests (in most cases), but still, only the commission has the right of initiative.

[@JBinero]

@@Endermankiller The EU Council is the shortened version of the Council of the European Union. In general though, often just "Council" is used since they are both so intertwined it doesn't always make sense to think of them as seperate. The EU-Council absolutely can propose legislation on its own, bypassing all other institutions, but the needed majority is a super qualified majority. A regular vote would only require a regular qualified majority.

Hi

[@binalcensored2104]

Norway is the largest shareholder of mining company denounced for contamination in the Amazon. The Norwegian government, responsible for harsh criticism of environmental policies in Brazil is the main shareholder of the mining company Hydro, the target of denouncements by the Federal Public Ministry (MPF) of Pará and of almost 2 thousand lawsuits for contamination of rivers and communities in Barcarena (PA), a municipality located in one of the most polluted regions of the Amazon rainforest. 840 Billion Dollars are stolen every year in Brazil by foreign countries, just in oil. The Norwegian Minister of Finance has just announced the profit of 120 billion dollars in 2022, which will increase to 138 billion dollars in 2023, in oil. Half of that profit is from Brazilian oil. That goes to Norway, for nothing, even without paying taxes to the Brazilian State. Everything is camouflaged and manipulated to hide, deny and even encourage an increase in theft, which is why the countries that most destroy the environment put pressure on the Brazilian Amazon. Because it has huge oil reserves and they have already destroyed almost all of its forests and now they want the rest of the Brazilian wealth. Say what they say, the Amazon still exists today, which would not have happened if it had been explored by the French, Israelis, Americans, Dutch, or English. The Norwegian Royal Family Member, Erling Sven Lorentzen, married with princess Ragnhild, sister of king Harald V of Norway, attacked and robbed the lands of the Amazonian Indians Tupinikim and Guarani, his company planted more than 1 million hectars of eucaliptus and left the natives without land and later without any water. In addition to facing lawsuits, the Hydro company has yet to pay fines stipulated by Ibama in the amount of R$ 17 million, after an overflow of toxic mud in rivers by one of its subsidiaries in the Amazon region, in 2009. According to Ibama, the spill placed the local population at risk and generated "fish kills and significant destruction of biodiversity". But all so called rich countries are stressing for destroying all the Amazon forest, because their ego is so rotten that they still prefer money, coins and material units to buy garbage and plastic toys, than life. After destroying all their own natural resources, they dont want that Brazil keep being the only country in the world who still have a big forest, because it wasnt transformed in money, like rich countries have done!
