The European Parliament explained

This video is gives a short yet comprehensive introduction of the European Parliament. Among other things it covers the composition, powers and tasks of the European Parliament.

For more information on the EU and its institutions please subscribe to our channel.

In this series we explain complex aspects of the EU in a comprehensive and understandable way. If however, despite our diligence and help of Dr. Jan Oster, we have left something out or made a mistake, please be so kind to tell and forgive us.

Corrections:
From the 2019 elections onward the number of MEPs (reduction from 751 to 705) and distribution per country will be different due to the UK leaving. For the new distribution check http://www.europarl.europa.eu/resources/library/images/20180702PHT07008/20180702PHT07008_original.jpg

With Ciceroni we seek to be a guide to European culture and history. We make videos on little known subjects as well as more ubiquitous ones, ranging from current affairs like the European Union, to historic events like the Tulip Mania, and even mythological stories like those of the Greek Gods. In all these videos we strive to present the subjects in a objective manner and within their complex context.
