Was ist das Europäische Parlament?
- Das direkt gewählte Parlament der Europäischen Union
- Der Rat der EU-Regierungschefs
- Das österreichische Parlament in Brüssel
- Eine beratende Versammlung ohne Gesetzgebungskompetenz
Why this is the correct answer
The European Parliament is the only EU institution directly elected by citizens of all member states, giving it democratic legitimacy across the union. It shares legislative power with the Council of the EU and holds authority over the EU budget. Members of the European Parliament are elected every five years by proportional representation in their home countries.
