EU Parliament – Responsibilites eeplained and evaluated
The EU parliament works alongside the Council of the European
Union and the European Commission to eeercise the legislatve
functon of the EU. This includes ensuring that money is spent
reasonably and on the right material, as well as debatng and
introducing new laws. The EU parliament is also responsible for
inspectng other EU agencies which uphold and eeecute laws to
ensure they are not working unlawfully. The EU protects its
natons from the enemy, and works on involving and cooperatng with many other countries. Additonally, the
EU parliament create laws to protect the environment; for eeample, there are laws in place that prevent
chemical waste being disposed of carelessly, in order to preserve the natural environment. It also has control
over movement of workers and goods, consumer rights, transport, and equal opportunites, deciding how
much of the countries budget is spent on each feld.
The laws that the EU parliament introduce have an efect on all of
the EU natons, hence why it is crucial they inspect the agencies
which uphold them to ensure they are enforced. Statstcs regarding
budget control are published online, and available for members of
the general public to access if they so wish. The EU parliament
records where budget was spent and why it was spent, to ensure it
was spent reasonably, and is going towards the best outcome for EU
natons. Europe is a strong union when it comes to fghtng
aggressor countries and terrorism, with all of its natons joining as a team to support each other in the case of
a crisis. Due to the fact the EU parliament involves and cooperates with many other countries, Europe also has
allies who provide additonal support through crisis or difcult situatons.
However, sometmes a few natons become unhappy with a partcular decision, soluton, or law that the EU
parliament decides upon. This can cause argument, resultng in Europe looking weaker to other countries
(including aggressor countries) and uncooperatve natons. These natons usually become unhappy due to the
fact a regulaton the EU parliament decides on clashes with their countries laws. This means they are forced to
change their own laws to match those decided by the EU parliament, which can cost a large sum of money,
and upset the public who may have to adapt their lifestyle to suit a new law. Therefore, some people argue
that the EU parliament is an unnecessary governing body, believing that the governments of individual
countries (for eeample, our UK government) should be able to handle issues on their own.
